The Resistance Broadcast – Episode 55 – Star Wars: The Hype Strikes Back

On this episode of The Resistance Broadcast, we talk about Episode VIII receiving its official title: THE LAST JEDI. Rian Johnson also teases us with a sneak peak image of the opening crawl to The Last Jedi. We hear speculation a trailer may already be in production. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story passes $1B USD in the box office and become the third Star Wars film to do so. Rogue One also managed to snag two Oscar nominations and we dive deep into our predictions on who will win in those categories. We talk about Han Solo beginning to film in March and the many implications that it could have in the release timeline. We dive deep into Rebels with a deep discussion on “Trials of the Darksaber” and also about the hiatus until “Legacy of Mandalore” and what we expect to see in the furthers arcs of season 3.

 

 

We also talk about the return of Cad Bane in the upcoming issue of Darth Vader #3 and Captain Phasma entrance into Poe Dameron #13 and what that all means for continuity sake. Two new upcoming novels in May will dive deeper into the lore of Rogue One with one being Jyn’s story that appears to take place around the time she is with Saw Gerrera and his militia as well a book about Baze and Chirrut at a middle-grade reading level. Both books could theoretically give us a sneak peek into canon. Rebel Rising (currently listed at 416 pages) and Guardians of the Whills will be on sale May 2, 2017 and are available for pre-order now where books are sold. We also talk about a new rumor regarding Visceral’s upcoming 2018 project that may make you scratch your head. Finally, we talk about Carrie Fisher’s passing now one month behind us and how we are changing as a fan community in this transitional period moving forward.

    I really miss the individual film title logos that they sort of stopped doing after Episode I.
