EPISODE 65 – On this episode I am joined by Jay Glatfelter (Geek. Dad. Life. & JayAndJack.com) to discuss The Gunslinger. This episode is a bit of an odd one, as I hit record as soon as the conversation begins. So, you will get a little bit of real life banter between two old grizzled podcasters before we swing into the Star Wars talk. ALSO, we sort of get derailed by talking about George Lucas, the Prequels and Star Wars fans instead of talking about the episode.

It is an interesting episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did catching up with Jay!

For the first time, a live action Star Wars film wasn’t going to be composed by John Williams. Scoring a Star Wars film would already be a daunting task for any composer, but for Academy Award winner Michael Giacchino there was the added pressure of having to complete the score in about 4 weeks. From conception to the final recording!

LISTEN TO THE SHOW HERE

On this fifth installment of the Lightsaber & Leitmotif series, I am listening to the two new themes introduced in Attack of the Clones!

In Clones, John Williams introduces new themes for Count Dooku and the love theme for Padme & Anakin.

Unfortunately due to time constraints, John Williams did not score the final act of the film and music from The Phantom Menace was spliced into the film. There was never a release of the full soundtrack for Ep. II and John Williams only created two themes. Because of all this, the episode is very, very short. I apologize, but my hands were tied, much like Obi-Wan’s during his interrogation with Count Dooku.

Lightsabers & Leitmotifs will continue with Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith!

After sixteen years of waiting with bated breath, George Lucas finally decided to make more Star Wars, and no matter what you think of the films themselves, you can’t deny that John Williams continued to bring amazing music to a galaxy far, far away!

Even though Williams doesn’t use leitmotifs as strictly in the new trilogy, he does create a lot of great new themes and I am going to break them down for you!

I recently watched the follow up to the 1982 film Blade Runner, and on this episode I am joined once again by Kevin Stone (Big House Comics) to discuss Blade Runner 2049.

Both Kevin and I are life-long fans of Blade Runner, and dive deep into the futuristic world, it’s mythology and it’s sci-fi themes. Things get pretty nerdy!!

If you haven’t seen the film, or don’t have an interest in the discussion, there is more to explore at the 1 hour mark. Kevin and I get into the upcoming Justice League film as well as a few other topics! Enjoy and thanks again for supporting the show!

We take a look at the dark corners of “Forest” Moon of Endor and all of it’s strange and Earthly inhabitants. Who is our favorite Ewok? What perils from Endor actually scare us? All the answers await on this very fun episode!
