We all know Han Solo had a run in with a bounty hunter on Ord Mantell but did you know that the legendary Brian Daley wrote a standalone story about it that came out the same year as the Star Wars radio drama? This odd, wonderful and long of out print piece of SW history stands alone as the one thing that combines the voice cast of the Beuna Vista read along records and the spirit of the NPR radio shows! How did it come about and what is its connections to Two Tubes, Cad Bane and how did it almost end up being the plot for an episode of the Droids animated series?!

So don't hate the bug people, listen today and celebrate the love with BLAST POINTS!

Episode 271 - Rebel Mission To Ord Mantell Mania

Our year long tribute to Attack of the Clones continues as we ponder that age old question - just what is the deal with SIFO DYAS?

It's an episode 20 years in the making and AOTC YEAR was finally the right time to discussion this shocking topic!!  So, hit that typo on the keyboard, celebrate the love and listen today!

Episode 319 - The Lost Star Wars Comic Book Read Along Experience

The Christopher Skytalken Podcast with Christopher Skywalken and Jeremy Orrelios

Episode I - The Force Unreleased - Unused Star Wars Game Concepts

Back in 2009 I worked at the remaining major book store chain and would read through the Art & Making of Star Wars books; one that has always stuck with me has been The Art and Making of The Force Unleashed.  At the beginning of the book they go over about a dozen game concepts, some that later we would find progress to other development studios and got to certain levels of completion.  All of these unreleased Star Wars games and game concepts have kept me awake at night; wondering what it would be like to play as a rebellious wookie; I never had anyone to simply discuss these ideas with, that I wanted to be a wookie in a video game.  Then, one day I was recording my other podcast with my buddy Jeremy and he waxed poetic about Steven Universe and it became one of the best episodes of that other podcast.  So I asked Jeremy if he would want to do a one off Star Wars podcast episode about unreleased Star Wars game concepts.  He immediately agreed and we recorded at the Christopher Skytalken Studio about a week before May the 4th 2022.  So now, in a post Jedi: Survivor release and recently incredibly exciting Star Wars: Outlaws trailer release, here we are ignorantly in the past talking about JEDI: OUTLAWS.

Join, me, Christopher Skywalken & Jeremy Orrelios on an grand adventure through the following game concepts:

Jedi: Prime, A Han Solo Game, Rise of the Rebellion, Star Wars: 1313, Star Wars: Maul, Star Wars: Underworld, Rebel Jedi, Rebel Warrior, Jedi Knight: Jedi Master, Jedi Outlaw

Thank you and May the Force of Others Be With You!

The Force Unreleased - Unused Star Wars Game Concepts

This week, Jason & Gabe take a deep look at one of the greatest mysteries of Star Wars, The Whills.  Though they have been almost in Star Wars since George Lucas' first drafts, the name Whiils been spoken about on screen until Rogue One.   Blast Points goes in depth with their history, possible meanings and theories on what they may have to do with the saga's future....
Before that there's some news on if Woody Harrelson is playing a certain character, a blurry look at Episode 8 Christmas ornaments, an emergency broadcast on breaking news, and the story group talking Rogue One secrets!  
So learn the great gift, celebrate the love and listen today!

Episode 57 - The Episode of the Whills

Jason and Gabe are kicking off their birthday party for the original STAR WARS with a look at weird and wild early drafts of the 1977 classic.  With vastly different outlines and scripts that spanned from 1973 to just months before filming began, the story of how they evolved and the stories inside them are equally insane.  Who is Captain Kayos &  what about Luke Starkiller with his twin brothers Biggs and Windy?   It's all in there and Jason & Gabe may still be confused about it all! 
Before that, they share how they spent their May the 4th, how they both failed at Star Wars trivia, discuss some interesting Last Jedi stuff and there's listener reviews!! 
So get your space ostrich, grab your lazersword and celebrate the love with BLAST POINTS!
