We waited 50 years to the date that JAWS premiered (June 20, 1975) to put out this episode.

We celebrate this anniversary with special guest Mike Celestino (Laughing Place / Who’s the Bossk podcast) by sharing our personal stories and fun facts of the film’s legacy. From JAWS music (da-DUM!) to merchandise (who wore the Shark costume that Halloween?), behind-the-scenes tidbits (who is this “Bruce” the shark was named after?) and YOUR personal experiences with this special film. Everyone has a JAWS story. What’s yours?

Never Land on Alderaan!

Voice actress Anna Graves IS Duchess Satine, and she joins Richard and Sarah to share stories from THE CLONE WARS recording sessions. We are so excited to welcome her to Skywalking Through Neverland!! Our conversation covered so many topics. How did Anna and James Arnold Taylor develop their chemistry between Obi-Wan and Satine? How did Dave Filoni run the recording sessions? Who was the voice of Maul during *that* fateful episode for Satine? How would Anna voice her very own Ewok? Anna also voices Teckla Minnau, Jedi Masters Tiplar & Tiplee from THE CLONE WARS, and Princess Leia in Disney Infinity. You know Sarah had questions about that!

You can meet Anna “Duchess” Graves at the Boonta Eve Special Edition signing on August 8th in Frisco Texas, during Rebel Scum Con.

Let the Wookiee win, or at least get a medal. And he did! Carrie Fisher presented Chewbacca with ‘The Lifetime Achievement Award’ at the MTV Movie Awards.

Never Land on Alderaan!

This episode marks the HALFWAY point in the original Classic Marvel Star Wars series that ran from 1977-1986! We break down Issue 54: “STARFIRE RISING” from September 1981, which serves as a continuation of repurposed JOHN CARTER, WARLORD OF MARS artwork created for the cancelled comic series. Not wanting to waste unused artwork which was done by the same artists as the Star Wars series, Chris Claremont was brought in to write a new Star Wars story based on that existing art. Then Walter Simonson adapted art to fit these issues 53 and 54, and Viola you have new Star Wars!

We are not sure why this issue is called STARFIRE RISING, but it should have been called CRUSH ON LEIA, since the story revolves around Aron Peacebringer (John Carter) having an existential crisis over his adulterous thoughts on Princess Leia. You can tell the moment the art switches from repurposed John Carter to Star Wars towards the end of the issue. Please enjoy.

After a thirty-three-year hiatus, Marvel Comics continues their classic Star Wars series with the release of issue #108 - Forever Crimson. We covered this issue in episode 495 since it was a direct continuation of issue #50: Crimson Forever which came out in 1981. Forever Crimson, published in celebration of Marvel’s 80th anniversary, encompasses five short stories that feature Jaxxon, Amaiza Foxtrain, and the droid-hating Valance the Hunter.

Release Date: September 22, 1981
Writer: Chris Claremont
Artwork: Walt Simonson, Carmine Infantino
Coloring: Glynis Wein
Cover Art: Walt Simonson

Imperial General Sk'ar captures Aron Peacebringer and Princess Leia. As the two heroes struggle against their bonds, Aron discovers that his friend Delois, has turned traitor and joined forces with Sk'ar. Now Delois and Skar plan to bomb Aron’s government - The Calian Confederacy.
