Solo: A Star Wars Story may have tanked at the box office, but it did have its share of fans. There have been petitions asking for a sequel to be made, but no official word has come from Disney or LucasFilm.
Rumors persist that a mini-series about Obi-Wan Kenobi’s time as a hermit on Tatooine may air on Disney+, with Ewan McGregor returning to play the aging Jedi Master. Now, additional rumors have surfaced that Emilia Clarke may reprise her role as Qi’Ra, and Ray Park may appear as Darth Maul in the series.
Given that Tatooine is a haven for organized crime, and that Solo ended with Han whisking off to work for Jabba The Hutt, it wouldn’t be too farfetched to see Alden Ehrenreich himself show up in some capacity in the new series.
Seth “Zandrax” Zillmann and “Crazy Train” Jonathan Bolick return for the first full-fledged Geekville Radio episode for 2019!
Black Panther Nabs Best Picture Nomination
Historical news hit this week with Black Panther getting an Academy Award Nomination for Best Picture. It is very rare for a Geek movie, especially a superhero one, to get any consideration outside of technological achievement. While Seth and Train agree that it will likely not win the coveted prize, it is still a huge achievement for such a movie to even get nominated.
Finally, Seth and Train discuss all these reboots, remakes, and sequels that have been made lately. Why is it some are great while others fall short? And why could some of these movies work then and not work now?
With all this 80s talk, it’s only fitting Train gives a 1980’s One Hit Wonder Spotify playlist.
All this and more in another fun-filled episode of Geekville Radio.
Finally, E3 is right around the corner. Train and Seth chime in on what they hope to hear from the major game publishers this year.
