Episode DCXX: Maul - Shadow Lord and the Ghorman Massacre

In this 2021 interview, Bryan had a chance to talk to Nilo Rodis Jamero, the costume designer for Return of the Jedi and concept artist for The Empire Strikes Back. He came to Star Wars with little knowledge or even interest in films and ended up working on some of the most iconic designs of all time. In this wide-ranging interview, you'll learn some of the great stories of Star Wars design.

Going back to the first film of George Lucas, Holly Frey and Bryan Young do a deep dive of THX-1138. Released in 1971, this film was the springboard that almost killed Lucas's career. On the other hand, it's a masterpiece of cinema that still doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Join Holly and Bryan in this in-depth look at the making of and themes of THX-1138.

With the release of the teaser trailer for Maul: Shadow Lord, Bryan Young and Holly Frey talked about details from the new show, including the differences between what they see here and what they saw at Star Wars Celebration Japan. They also talked about art history and the work of Joel Aron on the show. After, they talk about the startling and heartbreaking continued relevance of Andor and the Ghorman Massacre.

Holly Frey and Bryan Young got together to talk about the big news at Lucasfilm this week, where Kathleen Kennedy stepped down as president of Lucasfilm and offered updates on many projects. They also talked about the big changes coming to Disney Parks and Galaxy's Edge.

After talking about some rumors and news, Bryan Young and Holly Frey talk about the coming end of Star Wars Insider, its legacy and some of their favorite work in the magazine that has been giving us some of the best coverage of Lucasfilm across five decades.

Bryan Young and Holly Frey take a look ahead at what Star Wars is bringing the world in 2026, from The Mandalorian and Grogu and Maul: Shadow Lord to Ahsoka's second Season to the Ninth Jedi, they talk about it all. If you're looking for an in depth preview, look no further.

Holly is joined by her husband Brian Frey for a lighthearted talk about the New Year's Resolutions they think various Star Wars characters might or should make.

Bryan has had the privilege of talking with Rian Johnson twice for Script Magazine, once for Knives Out and once for Wake Up Dead Man. Both times they talked about his philosophy on writing and both times it touched on techniques and ideas that intersected with things that were relevant to his work on The Last Jedi. Though these interviews focus on the craft of writing and deal as much with Rian's other movies as they do Star Wars, we hope fans of Star Wars and Full of Sith will enjoy them.

There were some major Star Wars gaming announcements this last week and Bryan Young and Holly Frey got together to talk about them. Not only did they talk about Star Wars: Fate of the Republic and what it means for Star Wars, they also talked about Star Wars: Galactic Racer and all of the other games currently in development that we're aware of.

Another archive interview, Bryan Young unearthed this archive interview of John Madden--most well-known for directing the Academy Award Winning film Shakespeare in Love---but was also the director behind the NPR Star Wars audio dramas. Enjoy this interview between the two as they talk about that project at length.
