Hi again Star Wars fans! Steve and Kyle are glad to be able to share this week’s Journals of the Whilling with you all! With such a heavy focus on the inner workings of the Empire in Catalyst and Rogue One, we thought we’d help fill in another piece of the puzzle by talking about “Tarkin”, by James Luceno. Considering he’s the guy that wrote Catalyst, there’s no other writer with such insight in to the early days of the Empire, its leaders, and it’s top-secret battle station. We also tackle the Aphra / Star Wars crossover in this episode, as well as discuss some poll results about which era you’d like Star Wars to focus on.

In case you haven’t heard the news, Star Wars episode 8 now has a title! The Last Jedi will drop later this year to the excitement of all. In this episode of the TumblingSaber podcast, we talk about the new title, what it could mean (because nobody else has done so), and from there we get in to a discussion about the Jedi and the Force that is as long and winding as a country road. We also receive a transmission from a high-powered listener, as well as a devoted temptress who have a bone to pick with James. This is seriously not to be missed! We also talk about Rogue One’s Oscar nominations, the upcoming Jyn, and Baze/Chirrut novels, our thoughts on the seemingly inevitable Boba Fett movie, and finally, what we would do if we could take any material from Star Wars and insert it in to the new canon. Anything goes! This is was an insanely fun episode to record, and we hope you enjoy it! If you did like it, be sure to share it with your Star-Wars loving friends! If you hav [...]

While Bloodline was on the docket, the right thing to was to expand this episode to a tribute to Carrie Fisher, and her legacy as Leia. We then talk about the Bloodline, the novel that gives us a huge dose about the character that Carrie Fisher made so iconic. Join Steve, James and myself as we go free-form and try to verbalize just how much Carrie Fisher as Leia meant to us as kids growing up, and has adult Star Wars fans today. Losing Carrie Fisher was a cruel and sobering blow, and one that fandom will have to talk itself through for the foreseeable future. If you’re so inclined to honor Fisher’s memory, you can do so by donating to these charities, which she was either associated with, or donated to.

It finally happened. I had to pull the chute on a podcast recording. We had our show notes organized, and a great show planned. Then I got very suddenly, very ill. The last time I was sick like this was Christmas day in 2011…anyway, enough of that awfulness and on to the good stuff! Rather than leave you showless, two mischievous, Rogue Elves went over my helmet and broke into the TumblingSaber Studios and, well, a holiday miracle occurred in the wee hours of the night… Join these two Holiday Special Virgins in this Hilariously magical and Festive Force-based event as James and Cory “literally” take the reigns of the sleigh and fly Solo (Han would be Proud). Their most Dangerous Rescue mission yet includes: B&E,Keeping it Real,Spreading Holiday Cheer at all Cost,All the while Discussing Favorite Trilogies,Favorite Christmas fi [...]
