Skywalking Through Neverland

We did it, Skywalkers! 200 Episodes! Time to investigate the music of The Last Jedi . Moments we loved, moments of silence, and Kylo Ren’s new motifs. John Williams has created another masterpiece in his Symphony of Star Wars. And since the maestro and The Last Jedi soundtrack was nominated for an Oscar, we go over the Star Wars and Disney nods and snubs in the 2017 Academy Award nominations announced this past week. We also have storytime around the campfire, where we will read to you, “Chewie and the Porgs” . What was Chewie doing in TLJ while Rey was training? How did he and the Porgs bond after he tried to eat one of them? Well, grab a cup of green or blue milk and join us. It’s a Skywalker Celebration!
