  • What Star Wars Can Teach Us About Faith - Adam Lance Garcia
    Sep 3 2025
    Order 66 is old news. Coruscant's draped in shadow. And in Adam Lance Garcia's Star Wars Insider tale, "The Failing of the Light," a true believer faces a choice that'll leave you questioning everything. This week, we're diving deep with Adam (the mastermind behind Dex's poignant moment in From A Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi) to unpack one of the darkest Star Wars short stories we've ever encountered.

    Forget Jedi versus Sith. Adam flips the script, plunging us into the heart of the Path of the Open Hand and showing how faith, fear, and trauma can pave the road to radicalization. Why should Star Wars dads care? Because this story is a goldmine for discussing empathy, moral ambiguity, and the civilian cost of war with your kids.

    We're talking High Republic echoes, a Legends deep cut involving Synox poison, and conversation starters guaranteed to spark epic kitchen-table debates. What would you do if someone you trusted claimed the Jedi were the bad guys? How do you spot the line between conviction and extremism?

    THIS is Tatooine Sons!

  • Star Wars: Nostalgia Trap or Launchpad (Special Guest Heavy Spoilers)
    Aug 19 2025
    Is Star Wars stuck in a nostalgia trap, or can it still launch into hyperspace? This week we're joined by Paul from Heavy Spoilers to dissect the Force... and the flaws. We're asking the tough questions: Are cameos saving Star Wars, or are they sinking it faster than Luke's X-Wing on Dagobah?

    We look at when fan service works (Han Solo as a mentor? Yes!) and when it face-plants harder than Jar Jar Binks (we're looking at you, rushed celebrity cameos). Paul and I explore why Andor is the rebel alliance against nostalgia bait, offering smart, grown-up storytelling that respects its audience. Plus, we pinpoint the exact moment The Mandalorian jumped the shark (hint: it involves more cameos than a Comic-Con after-party).

    But it's not all doom and gloom! We discuss the bold moves Star Wars needs to make to escape the nostalgia death spiral and how we, as Star Wars dads, can champion new eras and heroes for our kids. Paul even shares a heartwarming memory of late-night Shadows of the Empire sessions with his own father – a reminder that the moments we create around these stories are what truly matter.

    Tune in for a discussion about curating our Star Wars experiences, embracing anticipation, and handing the future of the galaxy far, far away to the next generation.

  • From AT-AT Nightmares to Father-Son Fandom
    Jul 22 2025
    Okay, so you're a Star Wars-loving dad, or maybe just a Star Wars fan in general, right? Then you've GOT to hear check out this week's episode! We're chatting with Todd and Trent Hoffman, a father-son duo who are seriously next-level when it comes to their Star Wars obsession.

    Seriously, it's like passing down the Force itself! They dive into their Star Wars origin stories, and trust me, it's hilarious. Todd's got this slightly traumatizing memory of AT-ATs from way back in 1980 (don't worry, it made him who he is today!), and Trent's first word? "Boba." Apparently, Dad was giving him character lessons right there on the changing table! Talk about dedication.

    But it gets even better. Todd's fandom got a serious boost from the Expanded Universe novels (now Star Wars Legends), and he even joined the 501st Legion! Trent, on the other hand, is the modern Star Wars guru, keeping his dad straight on blaster models and Rancor puppet trivia. It's a generational thing, you know?

    What's really cool is how Star Wars has become their own special family language. They're quoting Sith showdowns, drawing parallels between Anakin's story and, get this, biblical themes! It's way deeper than just liking spaceships and lightsabers.

    And they've even started their own podcast, inspired by Tatooine Sons! They talk about meeting other fans, debating whether "Skeleton Crew" is basically "Goonies in space" (it IS, right?), and geeking out over "Andor."

    Honestly, Todd and Trent are proof that a shared love of Star Wars can be a seriously powerful way to connect. This episode is heartwarming, hilarious, and a total blast (with a blaster, of course!). You absolutely have to tune in! You'll laugh, you'll nod in agreement, and you might even feel inspired to share your own Star Wars story with the next generation.

    May the Force (and this podcast episode) be with you!
