  • Great Interviews and cutting edge news

    I’ve been listening Fantha Tracks podcasts since their beginning (following on from the former 1138 podcast), and the interviews they manage to get with Star Wars cast and crew continue to be outstanding.

    I’ve never had so much fun mowing the lawn listening to these UK-based Star Wars enthusiasts

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Making Tracks at Power of the Force 2026: The Mandalorian panel
Q: Have you been to conventions outside Europe?
They discuss the global convention circuit, sharing experiences from Europe and the US and expressing gratitude for fan communities.
Making Tracks Episode 265: Wheelbarrow of credits: With guests Lateef Crowder and Jonny Coyne from Rebel Scum Con III
Q: Would you like to see a Han, Luke, and Leia animated show, and would you recast or voice-match familiar actors?
There's interest in an animated anthology that explores stories between films, with potential for new voice talent while allowing some iconic voices to be echoed, though there's concern about fully recasting classic characters and the desire to respect Carrie Fisher's legacy.
Making Tracks Episode 265: Wheelbarrow of credits: With guests Lateef Crowder and Jonny Coyne from Rebel Scum Con III
Q: As part of the celebrations for Star Wars' 50th anniversary next year, what animated style would you like to see for original trilogy heroes?
A preference for animation that blends 2D character design with more integrated 3D environments, reminiscent of Galaxy of Adventures but with richer, slightly more realistic shading and voice work to maintain a cohesive feel across both ships and characters.
