STAR WARS '77 4K: Secrets Revealed!

Author: Star Wars December 19, 2025 Duration: 2:03:37

RFR is back! We have some top secret information from our Bothan Spies regarding the upcoming 50th anniversary 4K upgrade rerelease of the original 1977 version of STAR WARS. Beyond the film itself, we can expect some surprises. We break down all the info from our sources who have actually seen some of the restored footage themselves.

Where has RFR been the last month? Why the sudden disappearance? Were Jason and Jimmy fighting? Or were there bigger issues undermining the production of the show? We'll pull back the curtain and explain everything that went down, with a little help from Master Qui Jon.

Plus, we have a ton of great interview highlights from director Shawn Levy and actor Matt Smith about the upcoming STAR WARS: STARFIGHTER, and a little bit of info about next year's THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU. Plus, listener feedback and more!


For years, Rebel Force Radio: Star Wars Podcast has been a central hub for fans looking to dive deeper into that galaxy far, far away.
