THE RFR EARLY BIRD HAS ARRIVED

The Gina Carano controversy resurfaced this week as she finally filed a lawsuit against Lucasfilm claiming she was unfairly terminated from the role of Cara Dune on THE MANDALORIAN. We review the complaint and speculate about the eventual outcome. We offer our condolences to the family of Carl Weathers as the legendary actor behind Greef Carga sadly passed away. We pay tribute to Carl with audio highlights from his career as a member of the STAR WARS family along with reaction from Dave Filoni. We also raise a Red (Han) Solo Cup to the late country music superstar Toby Keith. Plus, more discussion about the upcoming “Rey Skywalker” film with audio from Daisy Ridley, FANBOYS celebrates its 15th anniversary

Full Show Video coming soon for RFR All Access. Plus, look for the return of RFR RPG coming this weekend!

Jared Cantor

Who needs new Star Wars when there is plenty of news on a weekly basis for RFR!

Jeffrey Van Dyke

So used to video… now I am just seeing with the force a la Luke wearing the blast shield, or Chirrit.

Windows!

Awesome announcement. I’m an hour away from Bristol CT . Can’t wait to see RFR on May 4

Eric from Phoenix

WoooHooo!!!!!! I didn’t listen to any of the podcast yet but did fast forward to the event details. We will be there and can’t wait. Booked the Double Tree in Bristol.

Jason zurheide

OH MY GODDDDDDD LETS GOOOO. I’m only 45 minutes from Bristol! Dream come freakin true. Can’t wait to meet everyone

Turtle Wars

I haven’t listened to this episode yet, but I’ve read the comments, and will look into making the RFR event that weekend.

Ian Savage

This is going to be fun. Can’t wait to see my east coast Star Wars buds.

Marty of Georgia

If I were gonna fly in, what airport should I fly into?

I would search various airports surrounding Bristol to see what is best for you from your departure airport. For me, there are nonstop flights to the two New York City airports that are cheap. Hartford would be the closest major airport to Bristol but would require 1 stop for me. If you are flying out of Atlanta you will have more choices than anyone probably.

CineWars

Carl was the guy making sure Dreyfuss got on the Helicopter. :)

Joe Dallas

Looks like I’m headed to Bristol!

Peter Beisser

Booked my room at the DoubleTree Bristol. Got my train tickets from Philly. See you all there! ✌️

Hartford/Bradley airport is about 40 mins away from Bristol . That’s the closest airport

Blake Weaver

Great show. Losing Carl really stings. I was in that same arena as RFR in 2019 when he came out at that Mando panel. His presence and energy was incredible. We lost a legend. As far as Gina goes she’s not gonna settle. She WANTS to expose the innards of Lucasfilm. That for her is the real victory. I follow people online that know her personally and that’s the talk behind it. I’m all for it. HAIL RFR!

Damnit. I won't be able to go. Going through some health "stuff" now. I desperately wanted to go to the next RFR live event too... and meet other RFR fans - especially other RFR VIPs. :( Sounds like it's gonna be fucking great! Drink a cold one (or three) for me. Maybe I can Force project myself there like Luke did in Last Jedi. Ha ha!

Peter Beisser
>>129249244

Man! You're on the short list of friends on here to meet IRL. Maybe we can FaceTime you in, Jeff. Heal up!

Jeff Holland
>>129249244

Same. Was looking forward to drinking beers with you, EfP, Joe D, and all the other fellas/gals. Hopefully next live event. Sure, we can do a face time. Here’s my cell 7578176628.

Matthew Dillingham

I wish I could make it to the May the 4th event. One day I’ll attend an RFR event lol great show, I appreciated hearing about Gina Carano stuff, and Jimmy Mac’s tribute to Carl was fantastic! MTFBWY

Scott St. Louis

RFR is coming to New England! Bristol is 2 hours from me! I will definitely plan to be there! Great episode—BTW, wasn’t there talk about Rey learning to use the Force from her “mind meld” with Kylo?

Turtle Wars
>>129249244

Sorry you can’t make it Jeff. Was hoping to get to talk about some 80’s thrash metal with you. Get through your “stuff” so you can make the next one!

Eric from Phoenix
>>129249244

So disappointed you can’t make it Jeff. Was awesome meeting you at ICCC con in 2022. We’ll be praying for you and your health.

Trevor Hallam

Wish I could switch coasts for a few days to be with you all in Bristol! Sounds awesome! On Gina Carano what I find interesting is that she has the whole Carano family on her side (I would assume). At least where I am in Reno, that family is pretty powerful in the casino ownership world with rumored ties to the mob. Who knows, but at the end of the day I think Disney has their work cut out for them on this case. And honestly, I wouldn’t mind her being back in the Mandoverse. Her character was great imo.

Maddie G

Oh man, am I jealous of everyone who can go to the live event! Great pod, very sad about Carl, and I think the death of Greef is going to be impactful and perhaps the plot point that spurs Mando onto whatever journey/story they want to tell. And how interesting would it be to be on the jury if Gina’s case went to trial!

Ben P. Stein

So sad that I have another obligation on May 4th in DC :-(. I’m helping to organize and run a science writers conference. You should know that the other science writers are excited the conference will be on May the 4th. I am hoping to make the next RFR get-together and hope everyone who can attend has a great time!

Turtle Wars

Great news-heavy show this week guys, huge loss last week, and plenty happening while gearing up for another fun-filled SW packed year. I booked my hotel room tonight and plan to be at the live event in May, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Pistol Pete

Impressed by all of you who can head to the other side of the country! This California native can’t swing it. Hope you all have a great time!

Rebel Force Radio

Thank you to everyone who has been so enthusiastic about the May the 4th event announced on the Patreon-only RFR EARLY BIRD version of the weekly RFR podcast posted last night. As part of our commitment to keeping our Patreon supporters informed before anyone else, we may have announced the details of this event prematurely. We recommend holding off on making any travel arrangements until we have the official green light. We apologize for any inconvenience and we look forward to seeing you all on May the 4th.

Chris Baxter

The thought of being able to sleep in my own bed and then bring my boys to watch a live episode of RFR is a Connecticut Patreon’s dream come true! Here’s praying that this becomes officially official in the weeks ahead.

Victor

I found a clip from Close Encounters but it says that it was a deleted scene. I have to watch it again and look for Carl Weathers!

Sean W. from Warsaw

Good luck with the event! Won't be able to attend if it happens, but I'll be there in spirit!

Sean W. from Warsaw

Hey, so I had a few thoughts on the Rey Palpatine bloodline Force connection thing you discussed. I know it's a sore topic for many, but it's honestly never really bothered me overmuch. So here's my thoughts: Force aptitude is not passed down only through the father. We know this for a certainty with Ben Solo: His Force aptitude came from Leia, not Han. (And even in the old EU we know this to have been true with the twins and such, to say nothing of other EU women strong in the Force who had kids.) Outside of the book a couple years ago, we don't know anything about Rey's mom. And I'm pretty sure the point of Palpatine sending out his non-Force sensitive clone into the galaxy was specifically in hopes of him connecting with a woman strong in the Force to bear a child to be able to possess. I think that's in the TROS novelization. Anyways, that's my two cents on it. 😀

Bolder Boulder

I like the fair and pragmatic approachs you guys had for all the topics in the episode. Keep up the good work, Jason and Jimmy!

Trevor Hallam

Rey Skywalker. Say it loud say it proud.

Eric from Phoenix

Great show guys! Why did Palps create a clone son? Why wouldn’t he find a force sensitive woman and use artificial or natural methods to have a biological child? That way you have two force sensitive parents and more likely you get a force sensitive child? The Mando movie needs to take a page from the X-Files movie (first one). It was very successful and I don’t think that was just from fans of the show. Have to make the movie interesting and accessible for casual Star Wars fans.
