As is our tradition, we dedicate ample time to listener feedback on the final RFR before Thanksgiving. It's our way of turning the spotlight onto our audience to say "thanks" for being so loyal and supportive. From your comments about new releases like Star Wars Visions to thoughts on The Original Trilogy, we love hearing from you. Is Obi-Wan the greatest Jedi ever? When did fans first learn The Empire Strikes Back was not "Star Wars II" but instead "Episode V"? What about the '90s when Star Wars was only being represented by The Expanded Universe and PC games like Dark Forces. These are just some of the questions our audience of superfans are throwing at us. Plus, we take a brief look back at the history of the Baby Yoda balloon at The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, updates on the potential official release and 4K upgrade of the original 1977 version of Star Wars, the Yoda statue controversy in Jonesborough, Tennessee 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. Hosted by seasoned podcasters Jason Swank and Jimmy Mac, the show feels less like a formal broadcast and more like hanging out with friends who happen to have an encyclopedic knowledge of everything from the Classic Trilogy to the latest streaming series. Their long-running conversations cover the full spectrum-breaking news, thoughtful reviews, spirited debates, and a good dose of humor. What sets this podcast apart is its access; regular interviews with celebrity guests from across the Star Wars universe offer insider perspectives you won't find anywhere else. Whether it's analyzing a new film, celebrating an animated series, or running a fan contest, the hosts ensure every episode is both informative and genuinely entertaining. Tuning in means joining a community right on the front lines of fandom, where deep-cut references and genuine passion are always part of the discussion. This is the kind of comprehensive, veteran-led Star Wars audio experience that has kept listeners engaged for so many seasons.
