Tales from The Star Wars Original Trilogy with ILM’s Stuart Ziff

Audio Podcast

As Star Wars was being developed back in the mid-70s, the maverick special effects crew at ILM were pioneering new filmmaking technologies in often unconventional ways. In the early days, machinist Stuart Ziff found himself thrust into the action on day one. In the years that followed, Stuart used his skills in a variety of ways at ILM including working on Return of the Jedi creature costumes like Admiral Ackbar, Nein Nunb and Ree Yees, and on many projects from Dragonslayer to Ghostbusters to Jurassic Park. This week on RFR, Stuart joins us In The Cantina to share fascinating stories about working on the Star Wars Original Trilogy and beyond. Plus, our review of Star Wars Visions season 3 and Jimmy Mac had the opportunity to see a Star Wars Holiday Special legend perform live in Chicago. Listen to find out who it was!

Tales of Enlightenment – Exclusive Excerpt

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

In a passage from “Missing Pieces,” author George Mann invites you to belly up to the bar on Jedha

By StarWars.com Team

A mysterious Jedi has come to town.

As Phase III of Star Wars: The High Republic continues to unfold in books, comics, and with even more short stories in Star Wars Insider, in Star Wars: The High Republic: Tales of Enlightenment, we return to the age of exploration.

And StarWars.com is excited to give you a peek inside the hardcover, published by Titan Comics and including a never-before-seen short story by bestselling author George Mann as well as interviews with a selection of authors from the initiative.

Cavan Scott on the Ghoulactic Horrors of Tales from the Death Star

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

The writer speaks with StarWars.com about his new anthology of scary Star Wars stories.

For writer Cavan Scott, there’s no mystery as to why Halloween and Star Wars go so well together.

“Ask anyone who has gone trick or treating as Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker!” he tells StarWars.com. “Star Wars has been scary from the start. I mean, there’s a werewolf in the cantina. And that’s before you get to wampas, witches, and brain worms!”

He would know. Scott has turned spine-tingling Star Wars stories into an annual Halloween tradition, writing several all-ages comic book anthologies over the last few years. And he has returned from the depths (of his busy schedule) for a new creepy collection…

Tales of the Jedi | Records An Increase in Viewer Demand

The release of the new season of The Bad Batch might have inspired people to revisit, or watch for the first time, last fall’s anthology series Tales of the Jedi.

This is according to data from Parrot Analytics published by The Wrap; the story says that in the week of Jan. 7-13 the company recorded an uptick of 5% in online demand for the series with respect to the previous week. This does not necessarily mean that the viewership numbers increased over this period of time, considering that Parrot Analytics gathers data from social media interactions about the series, articles published online about it, and even piracy. However, there is undoubtedly a correlation between online demand and viewership numbers…

15 Highlights From Star Wars: Tales Of The Jedi

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

Spoiler warning: This article contains story details and plot points from each installment of Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi.

Now streaming on Disney+, Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi is a six-part anthology of animated shorts, diving into never-before-seen, pivotal moments for both Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku. Both of these fan-favorite characters left the Jedi Order on their own accord, but both of their stories take vastly different turns.

Three of these episodes focus on Ahsoka, detailing her birth and first experiences with the Force, her training at the Jedi Temple, and her eventual reclamation as a Rebellion hero. The other three delve further into the character of Dooku, beginning with him as a well-respected Jedi, wielding a blue curved lightsaber, who gradually falls further away from the light.

Helmed by supervising director Dave Filoni with stunning animation and an all-star cast, including Janina Gavankar as Ahsoka’s mother, Bryce Dallas Howard as Yaddle, and the returning talents of Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn and Ian McDiarmid as Palpatine, Tales of the Jedi is a vital, beautiful chapter in the saga, for fans of all ages. Here are 15 highlights…
