The Wretched Hive: Star Wars and Other Stuff

The Wretched Hive: September 16, 2016

Episode #19: The Hive digs deep into the cracks of the (vinyl) seat cushions in the Mos Eisley cantina this week to dig up all the loose credits and Star Wars info you can stomach including news on Star Wars Battlefront, the awesome TFA visual FX reel at starwars.com, and a slew of fan films you're bound to love. We'll give you twin (engines of destruction) reviews - Aftermath: Life Debt, and the maestro himself John Williams in concert. Fan speculation (or spoilers?) regarding Episode VIII are rampant and we'll showcase the best of them. Plus we reveal the real reason that Anakin's Force ghost is proud of his son (very lonely) Luke. No doubt about it, this episode is money.

Episode #18: The Hive is more wretched than ever in this week's show!  We cover all the Star Wars news that's fit to print including rumors swirling on the casting of young Lando, the meaning of Rogue One (or is it, the rouge one?), and bathe in the nonsense that is a new segment, Star Wars Choices.  Plus, our buddy Chris takes down Greg in a way that only true friends should: harshly.  Because no one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans.

Episode #17: A new Rogue One trailer hit the interwebs and the Hive is here to break it down for you! We also pontificate on a possible Star Wars live action television show, and talk TV in general including the good, the bad, and the Buffy. We also pay tribute to Kenny Baker, the man who made R2-D2 come alive and who last week became one with The Force.

Episode #16: The Hive
returns in full force with more real talk covering Alden Ehrenreich, an update and ‘exclusive
audio’ from Harrison Ford’s on set accident during TFA, new characters from
Rogue One, past print adventures of Han Solo, and the future that never came to
be in the Splinter of the Mind’s Eye. Also, we’ve got actual listener voicemail
(we promise it’s not another cheap celebrity impersonation).

Jackson.
