  • Blast points is honestly the best Star Wars related podcast in my honest opinion.

    Jason and Gabe truly "get" the franchise in a way I feel like a lot of others do not. I highly anticipated the new Mandalorian and Grogu episode because I can count on these guys to always have unique takes I do not often hear from other creators in the space.

    This podcast has a lot of heart, like SW does. You could say its a blast to listen to. The force is strong with this podcast.

  • I ❤️ Blast Points

    This show brings warm feelings to my heart. I appreciate Jason and Gabe’s love of the weird corners of Star Wars that a normal person, maybe someone like my wife, doesn’t always understand.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 490 - Ben Burtt and The Great Heep
Q: What role did you play during the final mix and sound design process?
I supervised sound editing and music, and made adjustments in Toronto during the final mix, bringing together the sound effects and musical cues to align with the completed animation and final timings.
Episode 490 - Ben Burtt and The Great Heep
Q: What was the biggest challenge in scoring The Great Heep for animation?
Timing was unpredictable because animation wasn't finished when music had to be recorded, so we used modular cues that could be assembled and adjusted to fit the final cut, allowing for flexible editing without compromising the music's impact.
Episode 490 - Ben Burtt and The Great Heep
Q: How did you first approach developing The Great Heep as part of the Baobab stories?
I wrote four Baobab story synopses that became treatments, with The Great Heep singled out as the strongest idea. It began as a concept for a feature-like adventure but was later adapted into a one-hour animated special with the animation studio handling budgeting and scope.
Episode 491 - The Ninth Jedi Roundtable Interview (Kenji Kamiyama, Shunsuke Tada and Hitoshi Ito)
Q: For Americans and people around the world who are not familiar with swords and swordsmithing, is there a culture or history we should learn before we see it in the future?
The panel discusses Sengoku and Kamakura periods as inspirations, noting how samurai culture informs Jedi ideals like leadership and inner strength, and recommending some historical context to enrich understanding of the storytelling.
Episode 491 - The Ninth Jedi Roundtable Interview (Kenji Kamiyama, Shunsuke Tada and Hitoshi Ito)
Q: So when working on the initial Ninth Jedi short, did you know then where you wanted the story to go in the series and then what's been the best part of getting to expand the story?
The team explains that they had a clear directional idea for expanding the Ninth Jedi, and the best part has been deepening character backgrounds, refining the world, and integrating feedback from Lucasfilm to expand the narrative while staying true to the core themes.
