Children of the Force #112 - Return of the Children of the Force

It's been a month! But we're finally back. This week, we're talking new additions to Episode IX, Bob Iger's statment on future Star Wars movies, the passing of Gary Kurtz, and a whole lot more. For images, videos and other stuff, check out the show guide on our website: https://childrenoftheforce.com/2018/09/26/3305/

STAR WARSY STUFF [3:40]

Liam and I finished Jason Fry’s Servants of the Empire series and strongly recommend it. And now we’re reading Chewbacca and the Forest of Fear, which is significantly sillier.

And as I write this, we just picked up Solo at Target. Looking forward to diving into the special features … and eventually watching the movie again!

NEWS [8:15]

Gary Kurtz, one of the fathers of the Force, has passed away.

Matt Smith and Dominic Monaghan have been added to the cast of Episode IX.

A new Resistance video: Meet the Aces. Looks cool!
