Fallow times for Star Wars news elicits more interesting conversations. The Bird Boys turn molehills into mountains for your listening pleasure. What is Adam Driver talking about when he says he likes Ep 8, but is worried about the "scale" Is no Maz Kanata in Ep 8 a possibility? Is that good or bad? What does Star Wars on TNT mean to you? Is worrying about the Han Solo movie going to drive Jon to an early grave? How is Robert feeling about Godzilla these days? Jetpacks in Rogue One? Hopes and dreams for Season 3 of "Star Wars: Rebels" Jon and Robert like "Poe Dameron #6" That, and much more on TB:TSE #58.

Jon & Robert turn a dry Star Wars news week into podcast gold by throwing about a dozen things against the proverbial wall and seeing what stuck.

Jon & Robert start this week's Star Wars talk by talking about the forthcoming book "The Secret History of Twin Peaks" by Mark Frost and ask if ancillary material is a net positive for fictional universes. We wonder aloud what happened to J.W. Rinzler's cancelled "The Making of the Force Awakens" book. Jon has a lot to say about the use of the Imperial March in the "Rogue One" trailer. Robert doesn't think Boba Fett has any mystery left for his own film and maybe he should be left in the Pit of Carkoon , slowly digesting for a thousand years.

LANDO, LANDO, LANDO!   The news that Lando Calrissian is coming aboard the "Han Solo: A Star Wars Story" movie. (or whatever they end up calling it.) is making the Talking Bird crew's week . But first, they pay tribute to the late, great Kenny Baker. Looks like John Williams is back for Episode VIII (Jon breathes sigh of relief) What do the Bird Boys think of the "Rogue One" trailer? (the answers may surprise you) Star Wars: Rebels Season 3 will have 100% less Darth Vader?  What did Jon & Robert think of the penultimate "Darth Vader" comic #24?
