Love listening to FJ! Time to dust off the FJCWC (FJ Cuss Word Counter).

So I'll get this twice in my feed? It looks like I've got the regular download before the Patreon RSS delivers it

Rebel Force Radio

FYI...The Patreon RSS will no longer carry the Weekly RFR and After Show. We are asking our supporters to access those shows separately on our free public RSS feed found wherever you get podcasts or the RFR website. THANKS

I’ve got an idea for a new film or show. I think it would be killer to have a smuggler crew centered idea set in either the old republic or even the dark times, possibly even in wild space. You get a freighter that’s reminiscent of the falcon a motley crew of 4 or 5 and I think one of them needs to be a lightsaber wielder but no loyalty to empire or Jedi. Wide brimmed hat on the captain something cigar like and they pull heists and maybe get caught up in liberating a planet. Nothing where the Galaxy is in peril. Anyway I know nothing. Just the love the Wars. Great show this week Gents.

Thanks for introducing me to Playboy Bunny Carrie Fisher from that "Laverne and Shirley" ep. Big fan.

Great show with FJ! I’m sad now that I probably won’t get to see his movie idea of post sequel adventures with that trip - I think it’s really what needs to happen.

Although twitch Daisy recently visiting lucasfilm and publicly stating she would be interested, I wouldn’t be surprised if something with at least her in it would be announced (maybe at celebration as part of lucasfilm ready fire aim?)

Great show this week as always! While this weeks bad batch still left me wanting more RFR’s discussion of it added to my enjoyment! And as a public minister the Omega jokes had me saying PREACH lol! Really enjoyed hearing FJ this week and getting caught up on his thoughts on all things Star Wars. I definitely think that anything theatrical needs to be Mando based. I don’t agree that the kids of this new SW generation are gonna want Rey and Poe years from now. I get some kids got attached to those characters but I think the OVERWHELMING amount of young boys and girls fell in love more so with Baby Yoda and Dins adventures together. Adults like myself included. Being in Florida and being in the Disney parks a few times a year young and old are rocking clothing everything mando still if it’s Star Wars based. The idea of OT animation I think would work to. The main Star Wars shop in Disneys main shopping area ( Disney Springs ) is literally 90% OT and the rest whatever is new now. They know their audience better then what we give them credit for I believe.

After the big Luke episodes I think the big out of nowhere surprise in Mandalorian season 3 will be appearances by New Republic era Leia and Mon Mothma, maybe to demonstrate the state of the galaxy/bigger picture with trips to Coruscant and Chandrila or Hosnian Prime. I believe the capital of the new republic moved around every few years as to not give one place too much power.

Jimmy starts stuttering like D.J. and I about fall off my chair laughing. lol

There was a grazing over the Armorer thought that got me thinking. There was mention that the non-helmet-removing sect was a bit unorthodox according to Mandalorian tradition, and that the Armorer may have started it (Or at least perpetuated it). Is it all really to hide the Armorer's identity? Or do you think it is just what you see is what you get?
