Hey guys,

On behalf of MPS and Uncle Darth I thought I'd drop a line to say we recently recorded episode 14 of Star Talking - so expect to see it soon.

With regards to this Blog we created it for two reasons, one is so we can tell you about any new updates and information regarding our podcast, and two it gives you a chance to ask us any questions or provide any comments which we can then address in our next episode.

So if you like/don't like our show, then let us know and we'll discuss it Episode 15.

Stay nerdy,

Dags

Hi guys,

On your latest Podcast you mentioned 40 Anniversary Jackets and to have a look on the starwalking website which i have done but guess what no mention of these jackets.

Hi Michael,

Glad you're enjoying our show.

Yep a number of people have been asking about the jackets. We haven't promoted them on the website yet as we're just awaiting approval of the logo by LFL. It certainly seems people are pretty keen to get their hands on these.

More info on the jackets will be in the next podcast which we're recording tonight.

Speak soon,

Hi everyone,

In case you didn't know, episode 15 of Star Talking is now available. This episode sees us chat about our experiences on Family Feud, including our audition process and what we thought when we were losing after the first two rounds.

Enjoy,

Hi guys. I'm trying to book a ticket for the Starwars 40th anniversary dinner in Melbourne. I have to go via the Pay Pal app to pay, and all the cities are American. So I can't sign up.

Hi Josh,
Email your details through to starwalking@starwalking.net and I'll pass them on to the booking secretary.
Sounds like a problem with the PayPal App...the web site version seems to be working fine.

Hi Deakin,

I don't know if I should say your enthusiasm for our show is fantastic or whether you're just a glutton for punishment. LOL

To answer your question, we usually aim for one episode per month. This gives us a chance to work on a topic to discuss, plus we don't want to saturate the airwaves to the point everyone gets sick of us. So you won't hear the dulcet tones of our podcasters at least until mid June.

It's great to see you're using our blog though, well done. Though while you're here, be sure to let us know what you like and dislike about the show. After all, it's good for us to understand what we're doing well and where we can improve.

Speak soon,

Thank you ps I don't like the swearing

Dags link
17/6/2017 11:33:10 am

Hi Deakin,

Yeah when it comes to the bad language I'm definitely the guilty party. Still (even though this is no excuse) there are certain words we won't allow which I find are very common in other Star Wars podcasts - using the F word is definitely not acceptable in our show.

Originally I attempted to engage in a bit of self-censorship with my swearing (there's even an episode where I say "sh...er crap"), but as time went on I opted to just go with my more natural 'relaxed' approach because it's just how I speak normally.

Having said that I was aware a couple of episodes ago I did say the S word a bit too much, so that was definitely my bad.

In the end I can't say I will eliminate all my swearing, but I'll certainly do what I can to at least reduce it. :)

Thanks for the great feedback, and don't forget to tell us where you're from.

Speak soon,

Dags
(PS our next episode is being recorded tomorrow so it should be out this week.We have some great topics to cover off too)

Hey Deakin,

Glad to see you're a member of the club, I hope you enjoy the benefits we offer including our newsletter The Force.

As for the use of a wookiee growl to cover any profanity, I don't think we're allowed to use any registered Lucasfilm sound FX, but it's a good idea though.

Anyway, on behalf of the team, we're glad you're enjoying the show.

Keep on listening...

Hey Deakin,

If you're referring to the phone...we'd prefer you don't call after 7pm and before 9am, but you can call any day.
Email is always open and the web site never closes.

Skyforce normally runs from 1pm to 5pm in Melbourne and 12noon to 5pm in Sydney. (you can check the web site for the dates of the next Skyforce)

Hope that helps.

Hey Deakin,

Yep you're correct, the next issue of the newsletter will be my last one, and in fact I just finished it 20 minutes ago before writing these words. It'll be ready for distribution by the end of this week so I hope you enjoy it.

But the good news is I'm still doing the podcast, so I'm not entirely vanishing into the nether regions of the Force. :)

Hey Deakin,

No...we don't have a H.Q. but I guess you could say that our home is in the hearts and minds of all Star Wars fans.

Of course you can always get to meet other fans by coming along to Skyforce on August 26th.

As you know I'm a bit of a Star Wars nerd and nowhere does this show up more than in our podcast. Well in the next episode I'll prove to you just how nerdy I am - and believe me I surprised even myself with this. So keep an ear out for Episode 19 where all will be revealed. :)

Hi Deakin,

Well, All up...I've been Director of Star Walking for as long as you've been alive, so I think I've earned a rest.

Plus it's always a good idea to bring some fresh people with new ideas into the club as it keeps things fresh and moving forward.

Don't worry, I'll still be around. :)

Hi Deakin,

Well that could be a tad tricky as I follow the Sith, and as there can only be two of us (Uncle Darth and myself), unfortunately all of our spaces are full.

So your question should now be "who is the Master and who is the Apprentice?" :)

Remember, the Empire is NOT evil, it's just a little misunderstood. With that in mind, Peace is a lie there is only passion... :)

Greeting one and all, Here's a topic you may want to discuss. Do you think Disney are killing the magic of the Star Wars Franchise buy releasing a movie every year and saturating the market?

Reply
Dags link
11/11/2017 07:52:24 pm

Looks like we have a couple of great questions here, so I'll answer them in turn.

Q) Are we watching the Marathon on TV?
A) For myself I haven't as I prefer to watch the films in the correct aspect ratio and I don't like the Special Editions of the Original Trilogy. I did watch most of Revenge of the Sith though only because it just happened to be on at the time.

Q) Hyperlink to issue 115 is missing?
A) I suggest sending an email to starwalking@starwalking.net so they can address the issue

Q) Is Disney killing the franchise?
A) Well it's a good question that a lot of people are asking. Honestly I think it's too early to tell because we've only had two films released and both have been a success. The key factor will be seeing Solo in May next year, a bare 5 months after TLJ.

Logic would suggest that not all the films can be a winner so only time will tell if the release of a new film is met with unhappiness from fans. In any event I think we all knew (I certainly did) that more films were to come - known in fan circles as the SST - because Disney were not going to stop at just 6 x films (3 x saga, 3 x anthology). Though announcing them now was years sooner than I expected.

Be sure to listen to our next podcast where no doubt we'll discuss this in greater detail.

Yep our midnight screening was a great success with over 700 nerds enjoying the thrills of The Last Jedi. The best thing about seeing the film with the fans is that everyone gets the jokes and the references. Ya just can't beat it.

Be sure to tune into our January episode as we chat about the film in detail.

We have been PROMISED delivery on the 13th of March by the manufacturer Synergy Promotions.

You can ask Pauline at Synergy yourself if you like. :)

@Dean - I had a feeling someone would know the name of the ship, though funnily enough I don't think I ever did. Either way, thanks for the clarification.

The key now is to get to 2029 when Phantom Menace turns 30 then ask me if I remember the name of the ship based on what you told me here. LOL
