The Forcecast: Star Wars News, Talk, Interviews, And More!

The Weekly Forcecast goes through some changes this week, as well as the rest of the ForceCast network, but what won't change is bringing you the latest in Star Wars news, opinions, and discussion, from upcoming films, to video games, to the yearly return of Star Wars March Madness. Take a seat, listen in, and return to that galaxy far far away with the Weekly Forcecast with Kyle Winner and Dave Bouressa!

Mike Templeton (The Sabacc Table) fills in for Erik this episode as we discuss April's DVD/Blu-ray release of The Force Awakens, information about Bloodlines, autograph scams, and more!

Episode VIII is in production! Rogue One characters get code names! Han Solo gets a television special on ABC! Okay, well... Harrison Ford is presenting the Star Wars theme park attractions on an ABC special, so that's close enough. Catch all this and more on this episode of the ForceCast!

It looks like Star Wars has December locked down for three consecutive years. Should they give up May releases and keep this trend going? Also, should Lucas come back for Episode IX? And is there any chance of a live-action TV series soon? Join us for all this and more on this week's ForceCast!

Join us as we take a look at the fan theories surrounding Rey's heritage and the identity of Snoke.

The ForceCast crew ushers in 2016 with a review of the box office numbers, estimates on whether The Force Awakens will beat Avatar's global record, a look at possible Han Solo actors, news about the upcoming Poe Dameron comic book, and a look at the new Rebels trailer!

And now, the episode you've been waiting for... Our response to The Force Awakens!

We've had no shortage of topics for the last thirty years, but what new topics will we be discussing in the months to come? Erik and Lou take a look forward at the new mysteries we have to analyze and the new content we have to compare and contrast to what's come before. Join us in line (at least vicariously) as we wait for The Force Awakens!

Lou and Erik are in line right now for TFA! We'll be posting updates throughout the day, so stay tuned! In the meantime, here's our first update!

Is the Chinese trailer too spoilery to watch? What's the official word on whether Captain Phasma was to have been male? Who is Snap Wexley? Is it true that we may eventually see Star Wars 1313 and/or Star Wars: Underworld? Fill those last few moments before the big release with The ForceCast!

This week on The Outer Rim, we recover from Thanksgiving and Black Friday as we discuss the National Review Board's top picks for 2015, and we take a look at trailers for Batman v Superman and Captain America: Civil War.

Only ten days left! Erik returns to the show as we discuss going "off the grid" prior to the film's release, the controversy behind Daisy Ridley pulling a pic, the cover for Aftermath: Life Debt, and much more!

This week, we host a Q&A and talk a little bit about Battlefront. Paul loves sightseeing around the galaxy, while Saf and Megan weren’t convinced to buy the game. And the audience wants to hear about The Force Awakens. Where was the Falcon before Han and Chewie seemingly returned to it in the trailer? Is Lucasfilm aiming to get fans to speculate on whether Luke is a villain? Also featuring an aside about the women of The Clone Wars.

After a brief hiatus, the ForceCast is back with a look at the international trailer, TV spots, and Entertainment Weekly articles. What does the international trailer reveal about Rey? What does Finn know about Luke? How much will Poe Dameron be involved? What are Maz Kanata's abilities? Lively debates about these story elements and more on this week's ForceCast.

The full-length The Force Awakens trailer has arrived, and we give our first impressions and burning questions. Does it make sense that Finn or Rey wouldn't know what the Jedi were? Why aren't there many aliens in the trailer? Who, if anyone, is the Skywalker child in this movie? Why do the Knights of Ren have such a limiting dress code? For more, join us next week for Q&A.

Once upon a time, Star Wars was ruled by a "benevolent dictator" of sorts: George had the creative vision, and George ran the company. Now, however, both business decisions and creative direction involve collaboration. Join us this week as we look at how this new paradigm is shaping the future of Lucasfilm!

When's the new trailer coming? Does it even matter at this point? Join us as we talk about the anticipation (and apathy?) about the new trailer. Also, Rebels returns! Catch these topics and more in this episode of The ForceCast!

We're back! We've got a few episodes to catch up with, and in this first one, we go over the 360-degree Jakku video, thoughts on Aftermath, and the latest comics!

Yes, Paul does sound creepy when he whispers. Fortunately, the stars of the upcoming film sound great, and we talk a bit about accents and dialects. We also talk about the eight seconds of new footage released earlier this month, about the upcoming availability of Star Wars on Netflix, and we give our "in a nutshell" reviews of Star Wars: Aftermath.

Are you finishing Star Wars: Aftermath right away, or are you slowly savoring the experience? This week, we talk about our Aftermath experiences, we look at some interesting information provided by the database at StarWars.com, and we discuss box office predictions and concerns about The Force Awakens. Oh, and Paul straightens Erik out about his Tatooine hate! Don't miss this week's ForceCast!
