Summary
We’ve heard from so many listeners who say they love it when we feature rare interview footage from the Original Trilogy era so in this week’s RFR, we feature cool audio highlights from the official 1980 press conference for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. You’ll hear from Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Irwin Kershner, Anthony Daniels, and Gary Kurtz. Fast forward to the present, we discuss all the latest STAR WARS headlines, including new quotes from Daisy Ridley discussing her upcoming “New Jedi Order” film along with comments from Sigourney Weaver who reveals Baby Yoda “kicks ass” in upcoming THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU. We react to a recent Lucasfilm executive shakeup and new rumors about a possible pair of unannounced all-new STAR WARS animated series. Plus, listener feedback, Luke Skywalker at STAR WARS GALAXY’S EDGE, and Harrison Ford’s new Jeep commercial.
