XI, and XII, Disney / Lucasfilm announce that the release of the new Rey movie, New Jedi Order, has been taken down from the timeline and replaced by... Ice Age 6. What does that mean? What does that say? Bogie and Mike are here to tell you their thoughts.Finally, the Crew end with catching up on Bogie's first time watch through of the animated series Clone Wars. Since the last recording, Bogie has watched episodes 14 - 17 of season 1 and is here to bring his thoughts.

Transcribe →Teek Returns in Skeleton Crew, Creators Must Be Fans, and More Bogie Clone Wars Season 1
Oct 29, 202401:30:38Tap to summarizeSend us a textFor this week's episode, the DetBlock Crew bounce around a little bit with their topics. To start out, they discuss some news revolving around a particular character from a Star Wars movie you may or may not be familiar with that will be returning in the upcoming Star Wars show, Skeleton Crew. If you've seen our title thumbnail, you know who we are talking about. Yes, we're talking about Teek from Ewok Adventures: The Battle for Endor. Crazy enough, Mike and his wife actually ran into the actress who portrayed Teek [Niki Botelho] and they didn't even realize it at the time. Funny story, AMAZING person!Bogie and Mike then delve into the concept that Star Wars projects need to be written and created by people or teams that are fans of the franchise. Enough of the bringing in new people who have minimal to no knowledge of the Star Wars franchise, as Disney has specifically done with some of their projects. Instead, let's utilize people like Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, and hey... maybe some fan film creators! Kidding... kind of...From there, the two guys start talking a little bit about the sequel trilogy and how jumping directors pretty much set that trilogy up for failure. What started with potential, ended with a project trying to quickly patch up the holes. Following that, they make a little comparison to what is going on with the Marvel universe and how confidence in that universe is waning as well and some of the reasons behind that.After talking a little bit about the Ahsoka show, a new book being released centering around certain Acolyte characters, and some fan film productions, they then finish up their talk with more of Bogie's Clone Wars season one experience. As he pushes through more episodes of the show, he brings his insights and opinions on the episodes he's watched.Social Media Handles:Twitter: @DetBlockAA23PodTikTok: @detblockaa23Instagram: detention_block_aa_23FB Group: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastYouTube: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastSponsors:Under Pressure BrewingMirror Twin BrewingGolden Valley, MNSource: Comics & GamesRoseville, MNStar Wars ComicsStar Wars Games: X-Wing & Armada strategy games; Star Wars: Legion strategy gameTwin Cities Geek - Magazine & Online CommunityMy Star Wars Life - FB Group (Join Now!)

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!Social Media Handles:Twitter: @DetBlockAA23PodTikTok: @detblockaa23Instagram: detention_block_aa_23FB Group: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastYouTube: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars #PodcastSponsors:Under Pressure BrewingMirror Twin BrewingGolden Valley, MNSource: Comics & GamesRoseville, MNStar Wars ComicsStar Wars Games: X-Wing & Armada strategy games; Star Wars: Legion strategy gameTwin Cities Geek - Magazine & Online CommunityMy Star Wars Life - FB Group (Join Now!)
Transcribe →Comic Con, Star Wars Celebration, Horror Star Wars & More Bogie Clone Wars
Oct 16, 202401:42:44Tap to summarizeSend us a textFor 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.Social Media Handles:Twitter: @DetBlockAA23PodTikTok: @detblockaa23Instagram: detention_block_aa_23FB Group: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastYouTube: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastSponsors:Under Pressure BrewingMirror Twin BrewingGolden Valley, MNSource: Comics & GamesRoseville, MNStar Wars ComicsStar Wars Games: X-Wing & Armada strategy games; Star Wars: Legion strategy gameTwin Cities Geek - Magazine & Online CommunityMy Star Wars Life - FB Group (Join Now!)
Transcribe →Defining Actors, the Original Kenobi Trilogy & Bogie’s Initial Clone Wars Thoughts
Sep 28, 202401:25:31Tap to summarizeSend us a textThe 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!Social Media Handles:Twitter: @DetBlockAA23PodTikTok: @detblockaa23Instagram: detention_block_aa_23FB Group: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastYouTube: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastSponsors:Under Pressure #BrewingMirror Twin BrewingGolden Valley, MNSource: Comics & GamesRoseville, MNStar Wars ComicsStar Wars Games: X-Wing & Armada strategy games; Star Wars: Legion strategy gameTwin Cities Geek - Magazine & Online CommunityMy Star Wars Life - FB Group (Join Now!)
Transcribe →Tribute to James Earl Jones - A Legend + Prisoner 005: Jedi Ben Ken-Bogie
Sep 19, 202401:11:05Tap to summarizeSend us a textFirst of all, the DetBlock team would like to introduce it's newest prisoner, Prisoner 005: Ben Ken-Bogie!

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.
