Settle in, folks, this one is quite a journey! First, the guys discuss the possible legacy of the sequel trilogy as it relates to the growing adoration of the prequels from the generation who grew up with Episodes 1-3. Will 7-9 be re-evaluated in a decade? We'll see! Then, John takes Jeff to school for the first of a multi-part discussion about the beginning of the leitmotif concept that John Williams used to such great effect in his Star Wars scores. Prepare to be educated!

This time around, the guys flip the script a little and talk music FIRST! WHAT??!?! This is madness!!! But somehow they made it work. John waxes on about the use of well-known themes from other Star Wars scores in the music of The Mandalorian, and Jeff lays down on the couch to discuss why the Han Solo cameo at the end of The Rise of Skywalker works for him but not for John. Enjoy!

We're back from our end-of-year break refreshed and ready to dig deep again! This time out, Jeff makes the case for Luke having a death wish. He just doesn't do it very convincingly. But John is VERY convincing in his breakdown of John Williams's use of music being different in A New Hope than in any other Star Wars film. Intrigued? You should be. Listen to learn more!

"From a certain point of view" is a phrase that has caused much consternation on the part of Star Wars fans and Obi Wan Apologists. This time out, Jeff and John discuss whether it really was just a CYA for Old Ben, or if it is a valid explanation for what he told Luke. Then, John schools Jeff on some more music knowledge. This time out, John explains why what we hear on the soundtracks or in concert may not always match what we hear in the films. It's edifying and entertaining! And don't forget to stick around for the guys reveal of their favorite background character(s) from The Empire Strikes Back!

Greetings! On this latest episode of Bantha Banter, Jeff and John spend some time speculating about what went unsaid between Luke and Han at Echo Base when Luke was leaving to board his snowspeeder. Good luck? Get lost? I love you, I know? Who can say, really? Then, John schools Jeff on some trivia about Lapti Nek and the guys debate whether the new music in the Special Edition of Return of the Jedi is a step up or down, or maybe even a lateral move. Enjoy!

You guys! In case you didn't hear, our good friend Dan Zehr of Coffee With Kenobi co-wrote a terrific new tome called The Star Wars Book that tells you everything you need to know about the Galaxy Far, Far Away! Dan stopped by to talk to Jeff about how the book came about, the challenges of writing and self-editing, and how it felt to see his name in print on a book about Star Wars.

There was a time when you'd open up the latest issue of Mad magazine and find a wickedly written and cleverly illustrated parody of big-time Hollywood blockbusters, including eight of the nine Skywalker Saga films.
Alas the magazine has become a reprint vehicle nowadays, the victim of downsizing and budget cuts. Lost amid this change? Mad's adaptation and satirical take on "The Rise of Skywalker," leaving completists bereft of one final story.
But not for long. Tom Richmond and Desmond Devlin, both of whom charted years working for Mad, have undertaken an IndieGogo project -- Claptrap -- (https://bit.ly/2HCz3lk) that aims to expand upon Mad's vast library of film takedowns by adapting several films that, at the time, were overlooked or ignored.
We sat down with the pair to discuss what it was like being a part of Mad, what prompted the IndieGogo and just how rich a vein "The Rise of Skywalker" was for a new version of "Mad Goes to the Movies."

This time out, the guys have a semi-lively debate about award-worthy performances in the saga as well as the last John Williams music we'll get for the Star Wars universe, and they wrap things up with a chat about the first round of Star Wars novels before "canon" was really a thing.
