State of the Empire :: Episode 31 :: The FVIII of the Force

Posted by NerdyShow on April 10, 2017

State of the Empire is Nerdy Show’s Star Wars speculation podcast where we “look for news in Alderaan places”.

Star Wars Celebration is in less than a week, Episode VIII: The Last Jedi is eight months away, the Han Solo anthology film is in nearly a year… and all that’s just the visible half of this veritable Star Wars sarlaac pit. Lucasfilm has a plan for us all; and that’s to be blissfully digesting space stories for over a thousand years. Or… not?

We’ve got some hot new intel about what’s to come – intel that could very well be confirmed in this coming week – and not only does that involve some exciting, long-rumored film projects but also a shockingly tactful return to Star Wars scarcity before the next trilogy. There’s lots of provocative details to discuss. Plus: the latest casting surprises and details behind VIII and Han Solo, fascinating things happening in comics and novels, and Willow Watch wherein we learn of a new Willow ally and put out a call to celebrate the film’s 30th in a big way.

Intercept our compete transmission below, and keep the discussion going over on our Star Wars Spoilers Facebook group!
