Kyler Knowles - Hey Brian, I love the channel keep up the great work. I was wondering what you would think if the main star wars comic went past empire strikes back and Luke was reading obi wan's journal about the old republic and have like a 25 issue run set during old republic era. With characters like revan and potentially bane. Thoughts?  2.) Fred Lambert - what's the deal with Disney claiming SWT's Vader fan film? personally i think its a dick move for disney and just goes to show they're in it for the money. what are your thoughts?  3.) Pete Goodman - hey brian, love the podcast! love listening to ya after listening to jedi council every week. keep it up. my question is when do you think we'll start seeing infor on rian johnson's trilogy and the series of films from the got showrunners? i'm ready for some big news from the film-side of things and can't wait to see what the films set in the old republic are going to look like! thank you and may the force be with you!  4.) Alex Waters - As of now is there any reason that SotE couldn't be brought back into canon as is? That's the only gap between films where there is absolutely nothing to watch or read? SotE was what got me into the old EU and its a great read. love the show brian. keep up the good work, and congrats on making top 25 sw podcasts!  5.) Shane Duncan - Cheers! Thanks for answering my question last week. My question this week concerns Marvel and Lucasfilm. I remember when Disney bought Lucasfilm and everyone was saying that Disney was going to turn SW around the way they did Marvel. Personally I don't believe they have turned it around as well as they have Marvel, but I can tell they're getting there. Why do you think this is? How can the same company make great Marvel films but bland SW movies? Thanks for what you do my man!   Original score composed by Brook Munro LIKE on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/starwarscanonlibrary FOLLOW on Spotify SUBSCRIBE on iTunes SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel E-MAIL me at: [email protected]
