Do you recall the first ever expanded Star Wars Universe story waaay back in 1977? Long before Thrawn, Mara Jade, and Exar Kun there was Crimson Jack, Serji-X, and Jaxxon in Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics! Cary Gordon (Metal Geeks Podcast / Comicpalooza Podcast Manager) join us to break down these four comic issues. We go over the story, reveal lots of FTOOM Fast Facts, and share what these comics have meant to us and the greater Star Wars universe over 45 years.

Comics discussed:

• Star Wars Issue #7: New Planets/New Perils
• Star Wars Issue #8: Eight for Aduba-3
• Star Wars Issue #9: Showdown on a Wasteland World
• Star Wars Issue #10: The Behemoth from Below

We recommend watching the video version (above) of this episode which contains the full comic as we page through it.

After the award ceremony on Yavin 4, Han Solo and Chewbacca head out to pay their debt to Jabba the Hutt when they're attacked by pirates led by Crimson Jack! With their reward money from the Rebel Alliance stolen, the smugglers decide to lay low on the planet Aduba-3. There, they take a job defending a moisture farmer from a local gang known as the Cloud-Riders. However, they can’t defend the village alone so they hire several mercenaries, including Jaxxon!

During the Cloud Rider attack, The Behemoth, a giant reptilian monster, is summoned and Han Solo may be the village's only hope for survival.

BONUS EPISODE! “What a Wonderful Day!”

Talking Ape hosts Richard Woloski and Kevin Toft break down the long-awaited KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. Former Talking Apes co-host Mark Oguschewitz (Underexposed Cinematic Treasures) joins in as we discuss the story, favorite moments, funniest moments, and easter eggs. How many easter eggs did you find? We found lots that connected the classic films and TV series. We may have forced some but we got them to work. We also discuss the “gospel” word of the Lawgiver. And was Proximus Caesar inspired by Caesar the ape or Julius Caesar? We also read your comments on the film. We were surprised by the outcome. Now, go Ape…together strong!

Warning - this is not spoiler-free!

Never Land on Alderaan!

Star Wars Month is HERE, and we are celebrating with a breakdown of the NEW Disney+ anthology series, TALES OF THE EMPIRE (airing May 4th). The six episodes feature two characters, Morgan Elsbeth and Barriss Offee, following their journeys as they descend towards the dark side. Richard and Sarah analyze each episode, sharing music analysis, Easter eggs, and story points.

We also play highlights from the virtual press event, where Richard and Sarah joined a Star Wars fan outlet roundtable to talk with Diana Lee Inosanto (who voices and reprises her role as Morgan Elsbeth from The Mandalorian and Ahsoka) and Meredith Salenger (who returns to voice expelled Jedi Barriss Offee from The Clone Wars). The full roundtables are available on YouTube (embedded below).

Never Land on Alderaan!

The Dune II Popcorn bucket made its mark on pop culture over the past month, from social media mayhem to an SNL sketch! We turned to one of its creators & former STN guest, Marcus Gonzalez (Zinc Group & former Walt Disney Co. CM), to talk about how theme park and movie theater collectibles have formed their own collecting subculture. From Disney Parks favorites like the Millennium Falcon bucket & Iron Man Infinity Gauntlet sipper to movie theater exclusives like the Dune and Dungeons & Dragons 20-sided Die Popcorn Buckets, it’s a fascinating industry and Marcus shares all the details. He even gives a tease of what’s to come for The Phantom Menace anniversary release on May 3rd.
