Author: Generation X-Wing June 7, 2017 Duration: 1:21:56

Anil, Jamie and Rob finish their look back at the impact of Star Wars, 40 years later. The attractive toys, the wealth that trading cards gave us before Google, the pop culture impact we see in TV and movies today, and the influence the movie has had on us personally.

We also get a number of visits from our dear friends from the Star Wars Commonwealth including:

- Marc (Talk Star Wars)
- Ben and Ash (Skyhoppers Podcast)
- Kyle, Cory and Steve (Tumbling Saber Podcast)
- Tim (The Nerd Room Podcast)
- Rob Cast (TSW Round Table, TSW Comics, Roman Pod & Cast)

And as an extra bonus a short commentary of the last few minutes of Star Wars the original theatrical release.

This is an awesome show to say the least. We hope you can join us!


Join hosts Anil Sharma, Josh Whittall, and Rob Williams for a conversation that feels like hanging out with friends who share your shelves of old action figures and dog-eared comics. The Generation X-Wing Podcast operates from a simple, joyful premise: our nostalgia is worth examining, not just revisiting. While rooted firmly in the expansive universe of Star Wars and proudly part of the Star Wars Commonwealth Network, this podcast deliberately wid its lens. Each episode is a deep, often humorous dive into the entire tapestry of pop culture that shaped a generation. You’ll hear passionate discussions dissecting new films and classic TV shows, the thrill of the hunt in toy collecting, and the unique energy of fan conventions. It’s a modern look at a retro lifestyle, where an analysis of a latest blockbuster can effortlessly pivot into a fond remembrance of a Saturday morning cartoon. The charm of this podcast lies in its eclectic range and the hosts’ genuine camaraderie. They don’t just review media; they explore how the comics, movies, and collectibles of the past continue to inform and entertain us today. For anyone who finds equal excitement in a new Star Wars trailer and the discovery of a vintage toy at a flea market, Generation X-Wing offers that perfect blend of thoughtful critique and celebratory fandom. Tune in for a regular dose of insightful, laughter-filled conversation that celebrates where our pop culture obsessions began and where they’re taking us next.
