    Duncan’s father was brilliant and a true visionary, glad to see the Bowie legacy continue in him.

      Just curious but how does he have a completely different last name than his father? O.o

        He doesn’t, David Robert Jones was his real name.

        He was born Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones, Jones is David’s real last name.

      Agreed. Let’s hope this is a subtle hint of future involvement in Lucasfilm!

      one thing this has over Jedi Council is time…… my ADD is so bad i often skip shows that are over 20min. or hope they have time stamps so i can skip the stuff i don’t care about.

        Agreed. Something in between length would be great. Jedi Council often feels a bit padded. Partly because they dive deep on stuff I don’t care that much about like Rebels (not a hater, just not a lover either).

        I like Rebel Force Radio but it has the same problem sometimes. Their “Star Wars Oxygen” music specials could go on 3 times as long, though!

    Duncan Jones should be given the chance to direct a future SW movie. Loved ‘Moon’, and ‘Source Code’ was not too bad.

      Was about to say that. It’s my third in the list after Johnson and Edwards.

      It all depends on whether “Warcraft” succeeds or not.

      I loved both and his upcoming project Mute sounds intriguing.

      Warcraft looks awful, though.

    Boy did that suck! Represented everything we all feared about Disney owning Lucasfilm!

      Star Wars show with not much Star Wars in it.

      Corporate promo show turns out to be a corporate promo show.

    They should named the mouse droid Mickey. Search your feelings, you know this to be true.

    That was pretty terrible, made even worse by the inclusion of Lego news. I’m still trying to figure out what the segment on the director of Warcraft has to do with Star Wars.

      David Bowie’s son, Labryinth was a Lucasfilm production. He was also a writer/director for the SW Underworld show that never was.

    Anytime I hear someone say “This is episode #1, but let’s hope the fan base picks up by #4”, I’m kinda’ upset on principle. The first rule (according to The Book of Me) of making shows is: Don’t talk about yourself / your show, talk about what your show is supposed to be talking about. I gag at the phrase “Welcome to the ____ Show … the show that…”. You don’t get the right to talk about yourself until you’ve earned folks’ respect or shits given, and they really needed to drop about 25% of what just played and stuck to the actual news. It’s The Star Wars Show, not the “Star Wars Show”-Show.

    Wait, Episode 1, Episode 4, shit, I just now saw what they did there.

    I’d love to see Duncan Jones direct a spinoff as well as his scripts for the aborted live-action series.

      I really love Moon ( one of the best scifi movies of the last years, a masterpiece i should say) and Source Code is a good film.
      But let’s see what he will do in Warcraft, because judjing trailers it seems he has sold his soul to the devil.

        I had no idea he also did Source Code till he just mentioned it. It reminded me of Looper in some ways. If he can pull off WoW then he really is the man for the job because clearly he can work with low budgets but being able to deliever a decent blockbuster would clinch it.

      I concur. Duncan Jones needs to be making Star Wars movies & knowing that David Bowie (my other obsession) got him started by encouraging him to make movies using Star Wars figures delights me immensely.

        He’s already technically part of the Lucasfilm family anyway so it just makes sense seeing as he’s about to really break out.

    Jedi Council obliterates this. It isn’t even close.

      Not sure why people continue to compare the two. They have absolutely different purposes.

        That’s right. To be honest, I like the idea of combining all the relevant news and content into one short and rich format, but 7 minutes weekly is waaay to short (and the content could’ve been better).

    And this is how begins a TV channel…

    And beginnings not always shine.

    I really like the remix of Rey’s theme at the start. Who does that?

    It was slightly better than I expected but basically fluff. I can see myself watching it given how short it is although it’s certainly the kind of thing where I’d have another browser tab open at the same time. It might get better closer to the release of the movies as well.

    I liked it.
