In anticipation of this week’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we’ve partnered up with Nerdy Show to bring you episodes of their Star Wars speculation podcast, State of the Empire. Led by Art Director Cap Blackard, the series speculates on the future of the franchise and look for news in Alderaan places. To catch up on episodes, click here.
We’re but days away from The Force Awakens!
It’s hard to believe we’re finally here. The journey began in November 2012 when Disney purchased Lucasfilm and changed our whole perspective. We’d grown disillusioned with Star Wars, but now anything was possible and in just a few days we’ll see if these three years of waiting, hoping, and rampant speculation have paid off.
In this episode, join Cap, Doug, and Matt as we brace for impact. We share what new news we have on the films to come following Episode VII, as well as first-hand experiences from Disney’s Season of the Force, huge news for Willow in this episode’s Willow Watch, a coloring contest, and our new hope that the ill-fated video game Star Wars: 1313 might live again!
Fear not! Our spoilers are tightly sealed behind the blast doors. Having said that, we do pour over the latest clues and come to terms with the possibility that our initial outline for the film might be true … all of it. All this plus a heated debate about Anakin’s force ghost. Get hype here and stay tuned for our post-film podcast — coming crazy-soon!
