    ANDOR Season 2 Prep

    ANDOR Season 2 is just around the corner! But where did we leave off with Cassian and friends in Season 1? After all, it was 3 years ago. What really happened between ISB agent Dedra Meero and Imperial wanna-be Syril Karn? How was Maarva Andor weaponized?    If you don’t remember, we are here to remind and prepare you for this new season that premieres on Disney+ on April 22nd. There is lots to go over especially how ANDOR crosses over with STAR WARS REBELS. We also look back at our roundtable interviews with Production Designer Luke Hull and Costume Designer Michael Wilkinson to see how their creations will add to the storytelling of ANDOR Season 2.    Today in Star Wars History 4/15/1963   Happy 63rd Birthday to Tom Kane! Tom Kane voiced hundreds of animated characters in dozens of series. To Star Wars fans he is Yoda and Admiral Yularen in The Clone Wars and did the opening newsreel narration for each episode. He also voiced Admiral Ackbar in The Last Jedi and Star Tours.    Unfortunately Tom Kane had to retire from voice acting in 2020 after a stroke.     SPONSORS   Small World Vacations is an official sponsor of Skywalking Through Neverland.

    Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #53 "THE LAST GIFT FROM ALDERAAN"

    What would Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics look like if it crashed into John Carter, Warlord of Mars? This comic is your answer. On this episode we break down Issue 53: THE LAST GIFT FROM ALDERAAN from August 1981. This issue inserts Princess Leia into repurposed Carmine Infantino artwork from the cancelled JOHN CARTER, WARLORD OF MARS series, and boy, can you tell! Not only does it have narration in first person, it also has some scenes intended only for an over-18 audience. Make sure those little ones are nowhere near this comic!   Today in Star Wars History - April 9, 1984   Return Of The Jedi wins a ‘Special Achievement Award for Visual Effects’ at the 56th Academy Awards. Cheech and Chong present awards to Richard Edlund, Phil Tippet, Ken Ralston, and Dennis Muren.      #53 “THE LAST GIFT FROM ALDERAAN"   Release Date: August 18, 1981 Writer: Chris Claremont Artwork: Walt Simonson, Walt Simonson Coloring: Glynis Wein Cover Art:  Walt Simonson   Princess Leia Organa investigates Imperial activity in the Shiva system, but her ship is damaged by a space mine.

Leia returns to the capital city with Aron, and tries to warn him of the danger of the Galactic Empire, but the warlord is not convinced that such an Empire exists. During a gala, Aron then learns the hard way about this non-existing Empire.   We take our Facebook Group Comments on the cover into account as we analyze this issue.

    DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Breakdown & Review

    Who else LOVED the Netflix DAREDEVIL series?? We did, and we are so excited that DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN - Marvel Television’s continuation of those first 3 seasons - is now airing on Disney+!! We’ve been waiting years for Disney to pick up where Netflix left off and now it’s here. We’ll give you some comic history of Daredevil and a brief summary of what you should know going in. We also break down the first two episodes and take a special look at imagery, sound design, and character journeys. Wilson Fisk/Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) and Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Charlie Cox) reprise their respective roles and we were both blown away. FYI, there will be spoilers.   DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN begins several years after the events of Netflix’s DAREDEVIL, and a year after Matt Murdock has stopped being the vigilante "Daredevil". Now, Murdock continues his fight for justice as a lawyer while former crime boss Wilson Fisk has been elected mayor of New York City, putting the pair on a collision course. This first season consists of 9 episodes total, and the first 2 premiered on March 4. Over the next 2 months the entire series will air, and we are here for it.   Today in Star Wars History 3/4/2002   Vanity Fair continues its Star Wars cover features with Attack Of The Clones.
