Teatime on Tatooine

Episode 22: “Not if anything to say about it, I have.”

Weesa Back! After a two month hiatus we’re at it again - joined today by French horn player and film music freak (in the best way), Avery Jett. We get deep down sarlacc pits with all sorts of what ifs and alternate timelines from Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. What if Padme survived childbirth? What if Yoda went with Anakin to confront Palpatine? What if Dooku had outed Palpatine as the Sith in the beginning of the movie? Sit back, relax, and have a cup of tea while we ponder other outcomes in our favorite galaxy far, far away.Edited by: Anna Trumbo & Sam KiefferAdditional editing by: Nick Griffith Show theme by: Mike BarnettAll show artwork by: Krishna ShettyExecutive Producer: Sam Kieffer YouTube: Teatime on Tatooine IG & Threads: @teatimeontatooine TikTok: @teatime.on.tatooine Email: teatimeontatooine@gmail.com [teatimeontatooine@gmail.com]

Episode 21: "Bokken Jedi trained in the wild."

What is a Bokken Jedi? I invited Jesús Gonzalez (podcaster and Star Wars nerd) back to the studio to try and figure out exactly what that means, outside of the general definition we are given from Baylan Skoll: that Bokken Jedi are trained outside of the traditional temple setting. Is Bokken a derogatory term? Is Luke a Bokken Jedi? Are there other types of Jedi that can be considered Bokken? This episode is brought to you by Speeder & Sneaker Co: "Blend In to Stand Out."

Episode 20: "The Force is strong in my family."

What is it about family in Star Wars? About its parent/child dynamics that makes it so unique? My guest Nick Griffith (husband and friend of the podcast) and I look down the barrel of twin turbolasers primed with generations of familial trauma, loss, and healing. How come there are so many abandoned and orphaned children in the galaxy? What is it about the death of a parent that radicalizes a child? Does the Skywalker Saga end with Rey? Just in time for the Christmas season - let’s zoom in on dysfunctional families. But don’t worry! The future of families in Star Wars is bright, thanks to the introduction of Skeleton Crew.

Episode 19: "Darkness rises, and light to meet it."

It's time to face the Fandom Menace (muahahaha). Who better to join me on my quest than Obi-Wan Memeobi - Star Wars influencer, Master of Memes, and fellow podcaster? We explore the history of Star Wars fandom from 1977-today - covering early newsletters and zines all the way through the rise of social media and YouTube. How has media consumption changed over the past 4+ decades? What exactly is gatekeeping? What makes someone a "real" Star Wars fan? Pour your tea and get comfy.  Written by: Anna TrumboEdited by: Anna Trumbo & Sam Kieffer Additional editing by: Nick Griffith Show theme by: Mike Barnett All show artwork by: Krishna ShettyExecutive Producer: Sam Kieffer YouTube: Teatime on Tatooine IG & Threads: @teatimeontatooine TikTok: @teatime.on.tatooine Email: teatimeontatooine@gmail.com [teatimeontatooine@gmail.com]

Episode 18: "This is where the fun begins."

Few people in Star Wars get as much of a musical journey as Anakin Skywalker! Ashton Sharrett (musician, Star Wars creator, and co-host of the podcast S.O.M.P.) joins me to deep dive into that journey from his theme in Phantom Menace all the way through the death of Vader (and beyond). We talk musical parallels, Shmi's theme, and the overall genius that is John Williams. It's like poetry; it rhymes. Or maybe, it's the Force. Pour your tea and get comfy.
