📣 ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING SHOW RELAUNCH:
For six rewarding years, Tatooine Sons: A Pop Culture Podcast has been a cherished project led by myself (David) alongside my sons (Sam and Nate).
While we recorded this coming eeeks episode, one of the boys said that between V & VI there was a theory that Boba Fett was actually Luke’s mother. Crazier though, is that one of the hosts claims that
@HamillHimself
was all in on this! This can’t be true?!?!!
Feeling like Star Wars Twitter has lost all ability to take a nuanced view of anything. It’s either the most amazing thing to have ever happened since the birth of George Lucas, or the absolute certain end of the franchise.
Second viewing complete.
Love this film.
Don’t care a hill of beans about critic reviews.
But I’m truly sad for fans that don’t like this movie. For us, it was everything we dreamed of.
#TheRiseOfSkywalker
I grew up on the Original Trilogy
I like the Prequels
I LOVE the Sequels
I was blown away by Rogue One
I respect George Lucas
I think Kathleen Kennedy is doing a fantastic job running Lucasfilm
I geeked out at
#SoloAStarWarsStory
I’m a
#StarWars
fan!
40 years ago my friends & I spent hot afternoons in July pretending to be Luke, Han, & Lando.
Today, little girls are finally having the opportunity to have those same adventures pretending to be Rey, Jyn, Qi'ra, & Rose.
If this offends you, you don't understand

If you’ve read Bloodline...
Remember the fear Leia had of the galaxy finding out she was the daughter of
#DarthVader
?
Think about that during the first massive reveal in
#TheRiseOfTheSkywalker
.
And then think back to the first time
#GeneralLeia
meets
#Rey
Can we please dial back the hyperbole a notch?
Claiming the plot of
#TheRiseOfSkywalker
is causing you
#PTSD
is one of the most offensive things I’ve heard in a long time. And it’s a real insult to those who are dealing with true
#PTSD
. Have some perspective, please.
I think what makes me most excited about Season 7 of
#TheCloneWars
(Siege of Mandalore) is that
@dave_filoni
will finally get to finish what he started. He's earned that. And it couldn't happen to a better guy.

Lots of people arguing over

like it’s going to make any difference. You aren’t changing anyone’s mind. Just enjoy what you enjoy and...

I think someone should set it up in LA and you should interview him. First, you’re a huge Star Wars nerd (said respectfully) and you can empathize with him about fan overreaction.
@mattzollerseitz
All for it. It’s the most likely way we get a new generation of directors and storytellers that don’t just get sucked into the franchise IP machine and forced to do what everyone else is already doing.
You know it’s a a slow
#StarWars
news week, when one of the most reported stories is that
@HamillHimself
is going to be in
#EpisodeIX
. Yeah. We knew that. Stop asking him.
I truly believe that the home video release of
#SoloAStarWarsStory
is going to change the whole narrative about the box office success/failure.
@RealRonHoward
made an amazing, exciting, fun
#StarWars
film. And the world is about to begin to give it the credit it’s due.
We’ve felt a great disturbance in the Force...
We’re honored and humbled to announce that
@Stephen_Stanton
will be our special guest on our special 1 Year Anniversary/50th Episode this Saturday, December 1st at 12pm ET/9am PT! We’ll be talking all about Twin Suns!
We’re watching
#TheForceAwakens
. Sam realized that Rey’s Force Vision is simply Psychometry. The same Force ability that Quinton Vos has. She is able to relive the events of the item she touches.
You can have critical thoughts about
#ObiWanKenobi
. That’s fine.
But some of the garbage being said about Vivien Lyra Blair needs to stop. She’s a fantastic
#PrincessLeia
. And she’s a child. Be kind.
She must be protected by fans at all costs.
@starwarstuff
Saw all three with both of my sons. Honestly, it never struck me to think about them being female leads. They were just good movies. That's how they should be judged. As great movies. Not as great movies with female leads.

Between Rian Johnson”s confirmation that his trilogy is still on, to Kathleen Kennedy’s

becoming the highest selling

While
#AhsokaTano
is now a fan favorite & her future in

is live action, let's remember that initially she wasn't well received in

&
@dave_filoni
for developing a character that has forever changed the galaxy.
@Factsonfilm
Every frame of TLJ is a portrait. Truly the most beautiful of Star Wars films - even if you don’t like the story choices you can agree on that.
Just to be clear, anyone who uses this amazing moment to talk about how much they hate Jar Jar or TPM (even if they say “It’s not Ahmed’s fault”) will get blocked. Take that garbage some place else.
It really bothers me when somebody licks 👅 their finger ☝️, holds it up to check which way the winds 💨 of fandom are blowing, and then decides what his opinion on a
#StarWars
project is. And if you’ve been watching since the very beginning of
#TheLastJedi
controversy, you know
The response to the tweet below has confirmed 2 things for me:
1. Lots of
#StarWars
fans understand what I’m trying to say
2. The ones who don’t, never will no matter what you do to help them see it.

People criticizing

for "small galaxy" ignore that

began with the daughter of the most evil villain in the galaxy being captured by him while her droids escape to the planet her father was raised on and her brother lives next to her father's former Master.

Over-invested super fans with headcanon coming out their ears don’t.
Seems like it’s as it should be.
But that’s none of my business.
@halhickel
For this to become a trend, studios will have to produce movies people truly enjoy, rather than movies that simply cost a lot of money to make.
Star Wars Fan Account social media Pro Tip:
When one is in need of increased engagement, one only need post a photo of of Rey Skywalker stating that anything about the Sequel Trilogy is good or enjoyable.

@HamillHimself
Even Luke Skywalker, Himself, can have crazy Star Wars theories! Thanks for clearing that up. We will have something VERY fun to discuss on our next episode!
