Our Favorite Moments From 2025 and a Peek Into the Future!
The Resistance Broadcast: Star Wars PodcastShow Notes
Join us for a relaxing episode as John and Lacey look back on 2025 and our new Star Wars memories and experiences. From Star Wars Celebration Japan, including our fateful evening with ILM’s Rob Coleman, to our invite to Lucasfilm for Andor and our trip to Skywalker Ranch, we were on the move! We also had a great time covering Skeleton Crew on Galactic Goonies with so many great guests including showrunner Christopher Ford and composer Mick Giacchino. And then we had the K-2S Show which brought James back for a guest appearance!
It’s been a wild ride and another great year for TRB, and we look ahead to 2026 with excitement for more fun Star Wars podcast adventures! Most of all, thank YOU for making our show a part of your life this year, because if you’re listening to this, you are part of the Resistance!

After years of rumors, Ben Affleck has finally confirmed that he was offered the chance to direct Star Wars Episode VII, and he turned it down! We’ll talk about that and more including the Disney Lucasfilm publishing reveals at New York Comic Con!
George Lucas said he made Star Wars for children with important lessons about doing the right thing, living on the light side, and avoiding the dark. On this episode we’ll discuss Luke’s journey, specifically his three major rejections of dark side temptations.
While not yet confirmed by Lucasfilm or Disney, many major Hollywood publications are reporting Spider-Man “Home” trilogy and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Director Jon Watts has been tapped to direct the next Star Wars saga film. The reports connect Watts to the mysterious trilogy Simon Kinberg has been developing over the past two years. Can Watts pull casual Star Wars movie fans back into theaters for its next saga film? And do we feel he is the right choice to take on the responsibility? We’ll dig into all of it and even have fun with some light speculation.
Every season we like to take the time we have on the podcast to have an open discussion about the state of the franchise. So now it is time for our Fall 2026 edition of The State of Star Wars! With Ahsoka Season 2, Starfighter, and the 50th anniversary of Star Wars on the horizon, how are we currently feeling about our favorite movie franchise?
Star Wars is a fantastical adventure in a galaxy far, far away, often a place for us to escape to. But a big part of what made Star Wars such a massive success was the audience’s connection to the characters. Beyond the space battles, laser swords, and magical powers, there is a really human story. On today’s episode we will discuss which Star Wars characters we relate to most.
