  • This isn’t pod racing

    Unsubscribed. Like it better when it was a Star Wars podcast. Not interested in GOT. Maybe I’ll come back when they start talking about The Wars again.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interview with Tony Gilroy (Rerelease)
Q: What was your creative process for naming Star Wars characters?
Gilroy explains that naming is a crucial part of world-building; he often works in bursts, tests many names, and values consistency and ease of pronunciation, with a willingness to swap out names when they don't fit. He notes that many names become more meaningful once they are settled on, and that names can help guide storytelling decisions and the feel of planets, ships, and scenes.
The Mandalorian Rewatch, Chapter Fifteen: The Believer (ft. Molly Brizzell)
Q: Do you think that we'll ever see Mayfeld again in the Mandoverse?
I think as long as the story supports it and everything, there's no reason we shouldn't see Mayfeld again, I think.
The MandoVerse: Where Do We Go From Here?

Yes, the hosts speculate that Grogu will likely speak in the movie, potentially revealing significant information.

The MandoVerse: Where Do We Go From Here?
Q: Would love to hear your speculation on how the current state of the MandoVerse leads to the sequel trilogy?
