Halloween is just around the corner! Taking a little step aside from Star Wars, the DetBlock Crew discuss other great movies and shows that are perfect to watch during this time of year... horror and scary movies! Are you a slasher movie person? A psychological thriller person? A paranormal of scary creature movie person? Or maybe you're all about the fun and silly Halloween movies / shows? Find out what the Crew enjoy watching and what they are currently watching!

They then continue last week's discussion about how Star Wars could live in Halloween or horror movies. This time, Dustin brings his creative juices on what he thinks would be a good Star Wars thriller!

This then transitions the DetBlock Crew to revisit the conversation about whether or not Disney would ever give up the rights to the Star Wars franchise. Will they? Do you think they should? Would we want them to? You might be surprised by our responses!

For this week's episode, the DetBlock Crew bounce around a few topics. To start out, they discuss some updates and news that revolves around Comicon, whether it be current or upcoming ones. On that topic, they then go into some releases as it relates to 2025 Star Wars Celebration in Japan.

Next, the Crew decide to be a little festive to get into the Halloween spirit. As they have been watching some scary movies or Halloween classics, they discuss if the aspect of horror could be brought into Star Wars. Could the franchise we all know and love dip into that type of genre and release a Star Wars Halloween movie or series [outside of the LEGO version one]? What possible themes or aspects could be tapped in here?

Finally, Bogie catches us up with where he is at in his first time watching Star Wars Clone Wars. He's gone back to watch the Clone Wars movie and he is now up to episode 10 of season 1 of the show. He shares his thoughts and notes from his watching as Mike lives vicariously through him, wanting to go back and re-live his own first time watching the show.

The DetBlock crew might have started off talking a little bit about sports [hey, we love our sports!], but then they first dive in to talking a bit about Star Wars video games. News came out that Outlaws is underperforming, but there's still plenty of time for that to turn around. However, this could also just be a continuation of the times for the franchise and the, what some say, misses Disney and Lucasfilm have made recently. Either way, there are still plenty of fun Star Wars video games out there, and Bogie and Mike talk through a few of those.

They then go into an interview that was recently aired where Star Wars Theory sits down with Stuart Beattie and they talk about Stuart's plan and story line for the original content that was going to be released about Obi-Wan Kenobi. Originally, instead of a show, Kenobi was going to be brought to the big screen with his own trilogy and Mr. Beattie wrote the script for all 3 movies. With everything going on in the early 2020's, this ended up getting scrubbed, changed up quite a bit, and turned into a show. If you haven't already, go listen to this interview. The original plan for Beattie's trilogy is absolutely AMAZING and it's a shame we never got it; only elements of it in the #Kenobi show.

They then go into discussing some defining actors that just perfectly fit their character, inside and outside of Star Wars. From Heath Ledger as the Joker, William Shatner as Captain Kirk, Hayden Christianson as Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader, or Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, some actors just perfectly hit their mark. Unfortunately, for some of them, we lose them as soon as they bring those characters to life.

Finally, the Crew close with talking about Bogie's initial dive into the animated show #CloneWars. We are super excited to follow along with him as he lives through this for the first time. He's going to LOVE it!

First of all, the DetBlock team would like to introduce it's newest prisoner, Prisoner 005: Ben Ken-Bogie! With all of the chaotic things life likes to throw at us all, getting a full DetBlock crew together has been a little challenging. However, Bogie has graciously accepted the opportunity to join in on our #podcasst and #YouTube channel to talk #StarWars! Get to know Bogie and his passion for Star Wars through this episode and be prepared to see him join us in future recordings! Thus, we look to dive into Ben's passion for and knowledge of Star Wars in his first episode. Look at this as a little Get-To-Know-You.

Following that, the three of them look to pay homage to and speak praises of the late and great James Earl Jones, the voice behind our beloved Darth Vader. Even though its week old news, the release of his passing still holds very heavy to Star Wars and #movie / #film fans alike. No #villain will ever be as iconic as the one James Earl Jones brought to life.

The DetBlock Crew want to take the time to highlight a YouTuber they recently found who brings great satire to not only Star Wars projects, but many other major movie franchise projects. For today's episode, they watch Pitch Meeting's piece on Star Wars: The Acolyte. Mike has seen this before but this is Dustin's first time watching. Both were laughing hysterically throughout the video. Mike's face might still be red. Make sure to go give Pitch Meeting a sub!

Following that, they spend a little more time on talking about the Acolyte, but then shift over to talking about the newly released game, Star Wars: Outlaws. Lots of mixed reviews on the project, but people are overall enjoying it! Though the price point is expensive, both Mike and Dustin are eager to get the game and give it a whirl.

We have another trailer! Mike looks to provide a trailer reaction video for the recently released official Star Wars: Outlaws Launch trailer. Without previously watching it, Mike gives his initial reactions and insight for the trailer. The game will be released to the public on August 20th. Look for it to be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X & Series S, and Microsoft Windows.

On top of that, there was some big news as it relates to The Acolyte. You've probably already heard the news, but Mike has some frustrations about it. And it's probably now what you think...

Is it true that Kathleen Kennedy is looking for a "win" before she retires from LucasFilm? Whether that is true or not, Mike and Dustin explore that aspect and talk about what that all means. Is she really looking to retire? Does she feel like none of the projects under her have been considered big wins? Does her upcoming expiring contract play into this at all? Come listen to what the DetBlock Crew have to say.

On top of that, Dustin and Mike talk a little bit about the Skeleton Crew trailer and their thoughts of that upcoming show so far. Leading up to it, there's a better awareness of what to expect from it. Does this help open it up for more success and more interest?

Finally, and as a little plug, go give @popcornroulettereactions a little looksy into the content they are providing. Even though it expands beyond Star Wars for the movies they watch, they look to bring you their live reactions with their first time viewings of films. Mike tuned into Coby, from Popcorn Roulette, as she watched the original trilogy of #StarWars followed by the prequel trilogy. Watching those restored some of Mike's faith in the Star Wars franchise as new fans still experience the impact, shock and awe that the first 6 films brought. It's just a reminder that, damn... those are GREAT films. Go give them a watch!

Happy 3 Year Anniversary to DetBlock! Three years ago today [Aug. 9, 2021], the Crew recorded their first episode!

For today's episode, Mike looks to provide a trailer reaction video for the recently released official Star Wars: Skeleton Crew trailer. He just heard about the trailer release, so jumped on right away to bring you his reaction; even if it brought him to past midnight. :) Come watch the trailer and listen to what his thoughts and opinions are as the trailer is new and fresh in his mind.
