Ep 106: Eaten by Nature

This episode of Force Toast was recorded during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. The projects discussed in this episode would not exist were it not for the hard work of the actors currently on strike. We stand in solidarity with the guild’s fight for higher compensation from streaming and protections against the encroachment of artificial intelligence. Support striking actors here and here.

In Episode 106, hosts Alyce and Laura just want* to talk about Star Wars. They DON’T want to hear about a man’s farm!

• Adventures in apartment living 
• Hop on board the Caravan of Corrections/Rabbithole for a lesson in Star Wars history and politics: the galactic capital 
• Alyce is feeling salty (in the best way) as we discuss missed opportunities in Star Wars storytelling (via Screenrant)
• Sometimes when characters die, they’re just joking. If Palpatine and Ahsoka and the Grand Inquisitor and Maul and Reva and Boba Fett and Cobb Vanth and Fennec Shand and Rey can SOMEHOW survive, why not Cad Bane? 
• Internet hacks, courtesy of the host of this podcast that doesn’t work in tech
• Speculate for fun and then be like Elsa: LET. IT. GO.
• A new young adult novel came out and we completely missed that news? (via starwars.com)
• In today’s Annoying Dude Stuff segment: deranged director Matthew Vaughn wants to reboot the OT (via Happy Sad Confused)
• Highlights from the publishing panel at NYCC
• From Starcruiser to star snoozer: sunsetting the Star Wars Hotel For The 1%
• Mynock, mynock, mynock, mynock
