Rebel Force Radio: Star Wars Podcast

From films to streaming shows to merch, many in-development STAR WARS projects have never seen the light of day. This week, we are joined by SEGABits host Barry Harmon who recently uncovered a binder filled with abandoned McDonald’s STAR WARS Happy Meal toy concepts, complete with descriptions and illustrations. We go through the entire sales pitch and discuss what could have been. Screenwriter Steven S. Goyer has revealed information about a scrapped STAR WARS film project he was working on with director Guillermo Del Toro. Find out about the film concept and who the main character would have been. Pop superstars N*SYNC came thisclose to being in ATTACK OF THE CLONES, but ended up on the cutting room floor. Now, the boy band is back together and talking about their almost-STAR WARS experience. Plus, we look ahead to Jude Law’s upcoming series SKELETON CREW, we look back at THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT, and spotlight hilarious memories from THE PHANTOM MENANCE via Liam Neeson’s recent visit to Conan O’Brien’s podcast.
