Punch it Chewie! The RFR Early Bird returns to bring you this week's show with lightspeed! 

We bask in the afterglow following the return of Luke Skywalker and Sweet Baby Yoda (ok…Grogu!) on the latest episode of THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT with a recap of our After Show and we discuss the mystery of Yoda’s Lightsaber. Michael Havens is the mastermind behind the ICCCon and he joins us to reveal a legendary STAR WARS actor who will be at the con this spring. We got clips from directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who made some rare statements about working on SOLO prior to getting the can. Sebastian Stan comments on fan support for him to play Luke Skywalker, and NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick reveals details about his legendary boy band appearing in ATTACK OF THE CLONES….Almost.

Just wondering will there be a video version for this?

Antonio from NJ

Yall know it was 3 am and youre asking when the video is coming out? haha you def are a dark sider j/k

jediantilles .

I thought Cad Bane looks better in Book of Boba Fett, looks more intimidating, not sure of the reason for the "fixes".

Michael E

Will RFR be at Celebration? (…what are chances or Celebration actually happening?). Just wondering why it’s never mentioned on the show

Kyle Starkel

This is more related to the chapter 6 after show episode but if I post it on that thread it probably won't be seen at this point. I've been wondering, why does everything have to revert to a complaint fest about the sequel trilogy? Is it not possible to enjoy Mando and Book of Boba Fett without crapping on the thing you didn't enjoy?

Kyle Starkel

I'm not going to pretend the sequel trilogy was some amazing achievement. I don't think it was. But this idea that this is what the sequels should have done and the Mando is an "act of love" vs a "challenge" (as though the creators of the ST don't love Star Wars because you didn't like their movie) is crazy to me. For one, you can't really compare a TV show to movies, even a trilogy. They're two different story telling methods. Just look at the hours available to a TV show vs. a movie. There were almost two entire seasons of the Mandalorian before they brought in Luke. Roughly 11 hours of content in which we we got to know Mando and Grogu BEFORE they gave Luke a cameo. There were five more episodes, about four hours, of Book of Boba Fett before we got more Luke. A single movie gets three hours max and that's pushing it. Despite the overwhelming time spent on characters other than Luke Skywalker, his brief appearance in both shows has arguably overshadowed the other characters. Which is exactly what Michael Arndt said the legacy characters presence would do. He was right. And yet he's called a coward. I don't know Michael Arndt from Michael Scott but it appears he's a professional screenwriter. I imagine if he was given twelve hours to tell a story instead of two and a half, he might have had a different opinion. Not to mention Star Wars alum Lawrence Kasdan apparently agreed with him since he and JJ Abrams had a chance to re-write his script but still chose to save Luke for a brief cameo at the end.

Antonio from NJ

my initial reaction was ok, not what I wanted but ok. Seeing the fan edits, I actually what they showed more now. This Cade Bane fits this universe. Much like Heath's Joker fits Nolan's version better than Caesar Romano's joker.

Peter Beisser

JMac, you think you guys can bribe your boy Tony Daniels with a cup of Earl Grey and a can of oil to come hang out at an RFR hangout during ICCC? Would be cool.

Rebel Force Radio

One time in Japan, Anthony sat with our table at dinner after we randomly bumped into him at a sushi restaurant. That was pretty cool. Others at dinner that night included Star Wars artists Tsueno Sanda and his wife, Lawrence Noble and his family, D. Martin Myatt and me.

Rebel Force Radio

We have plans to be there but everything else is in a holding pattern until we get closer to the date due to pandemic uncertainties etc. Details need to be ironed out regarding RFR doing an event outside the con but things are moving slowly right now.

Pistol Pete

Makes me wish I could go to Nashville… I’ll be at my first convention in Anaheim in May. I hope Anaheim will be as great as I’m expecting, some of the talk on the podcasts makes me feel like my one day there is gonna not that much fun…

James Lawrence

A friend of mine worked with Tony in London so I wrote him a nice letter complimenting him on his acting and mime in the OT. A couple of days later I received a signed photo with the words Now the Force IS with you! What a nice gesture 😀

Eric from Phoenix

Celebration will happen and there will be an awesome RFR Patreon meet up! Okay, just putting positive vibes out there :)

Eric from Phoenix

What? You’re going to have a great time. Several thousand people that all love the same thing as you. We’ve had fun at all of them. Sure there are things that were disappointing but all in all a heck of a fun time.

Pistol Pete

Thanks man. I think I may try and avoid anything that requires hours of waiting. Since I’m taking my wife and only have tickets for Friday. I am looking forward to seeing RFR there! ICCC sounds like an amazing place for the fans.

Ben P. Stein

When George Lucas initially downplayed the fact that Anthony Daniels played C3PO, perhaps one inspiration was the movie Forbidden Planet, in which the movie poster bills Robby the Robot as if he were an actor. Jason’s comparison to the Muppet Movie showing Kermit the Frog and others as the actors was also very apt. Whatever the case, it seems most likely that GL’s motivation was to try to heighten the illusion of movie magic.

John Riley

I like the Chris from TN theory! My Cousin Hondo…reminds me of the Marvin Berry / Chuck Berry phone call from Back to the Future.

Dave Row

Thanks for putting a spoiler in the title like that guys.

RobO from ChicagO

Jason actually had originally said that he heard paz vizsla was Dave Bautista. Was it ever confirmed if Favreu is the one voicing him?

Dave Row

Didn’t see it here it. It popped up on my podcast app. Just came here to complain.

Jared Cantor

Thanks for keeping me company with a newborn at 4 am.

David Grunert

All I want in the final episode of BoBF is Cad Bane saying to Fennec Shand or anyone “little lady” if he says that the series is a success in my book. I must say a massive bravo to Lucas Film getting the YouTube deep fake guy you can see his input as really improved OT Luke look. I’m counting down the hours and mins to the series finale it should be one epic episode.

Johan Wolfs

I wonder if Qi'ra maybe will show up in the finale of the season...

Kyle Starkel

Anyone else think Luke is kinda a crappy teacher so far? I mean, what’s with putting this huge decision on a toddler that can’t even speak and can’t possibly understand the implications of this decision?

David Grunert

Jimmy and Jason I’m pretty sure Sam Witwer makes a brief cameo in always sunny in Philadelphia season 3 episode 4 Denis and Dee’s Mom is dead at 12:27mins into the episode

Eric from Phoenix

I don't know why but the builder droids reminded me of the worker droids in the old Star Wars age of empires games. Also, Joey from NSYNC was at Star Wars Celebration 2012. We happened to have VIP passes that year and he got let into the main stage from a side door right after we were seated. He sat pretty close to us and was cool seeing his excitement to be at the panel (can't remember which one).

Rob Strecker

On the topic of Yoda's lightsaber. He DOES lose it in the fight. It is VERY brief, but when he jumps up and lands on pod with it lit and ready to fight, Sidious blasts lightning and at THAT moment, it flies out of his hands and he is forced to use the force to absorb, then repel the lightning. Might have gotten addressed again in future shows, but this is where I am right now. I had paused to comment too soo, it was addressed not 30 seconds after I paused to write.
