Skywalking Through Neverland: Revenge of the 5th Episode

Tricia joined Sarah and Richard Woloski for Skywalking Through Neverland’s Revenge of the 5th Episode. From the show notes:

This is our most action-packed, super-fun, galac­ti­cally great episode yet!  We would like to start off by say­ing ‘Happy Revenge Of The 5th!” We hope you had a Force­ful May The 4th.

Thank you, Disney, for announc­ing the cast for Episode 7 this last week! (They knew this would make a per­fect Tiki Can­tina seg­ment for our May the 4th Episode of Sky­walk­ing Through Nev­er­land.) Now along with return­ing saga vet­er­ans like Mark Hamill, Car­rie Fisher, Har­ri­son Ford, Peter May­hew, Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker we have a brand new cast to help fur­ther the story we never thought we’d get. So we called a few of our friends like Robert Bapst of The Bald Solo Pod­cast (who is also co-hosting this week), Scott Mur­ray from the Assem­bly of Geeks pod­cast and our long time lis­tener and admin of Sky­walk­ing Through Nev­er­land Face­book Page, Don­ald Wicks.

A long time ago in an era known as the 70’s and 80’s when there was very lit­tle Star Wars con­tent to help fill in the gaps, we had to go on our first impres­sions. We had no spin-offs or expanded uni­verse to help us visu­al­ize what things like “the Clone Wars” meant. Who was The Emperor? And what mem­o­ries did Leia actu­ally have of her mother? We talk with friends includ­ing Chris Alexan­der (author of Star Wars Origami), Michael Kogge (author of The Despot­ica and Star Wars Insider arti­cles) and Tri­cia Barr (fangirlblog.com and Fan­girls Going Rogue). They reveal their first impres­sions of the Clone Wars, a duel between Vader and Obi-Wan at the edge of a vol­cano and more. This is a dis­cus­sion Richard has been hav­ing with Chris Alexan­der since they were both dress­ing up as Jedi Luke back in 1984.

The very first all-Star Wars con­ven­tion was held over the Memo­r­ial Day week­end, 1987, in Los Ange­les to cel­e­brate the saga’s 10th Anniver­sary. Richard was lucky enough to have attended!. One of the high­lights was the very first appear­ance by George Lucas who had flown in from Eng­land where he was shoot­ing Wil­low. We’ve aired some of his Q&A on past shows. We go back and review this Q&A and repeat the ques­tions when needed or just crack-wise on ques­tions that were asked 27 years ago…

We have so much more for today’s episode includ­ing the his­tory of how May The 4th started, a review of The Big Bang Theory’s Star Wars episode, and, the reveal of our May the 4th Give­away winner!

And remem­ber, never land on Alderaan!
