Classic Marvel Star Wars Comic #32: "The Jawa Express!"

Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics Issue 32 "The Jawa Express" (November 1979) builds upon the nostalgia factor of Issue 31 with its Tatooine location. Only this time, Luke, Han, Chewie and the droids are stuck out in the Dune Sea. While trying to hide from the Empire and fix their overheating landspeeder, they run into Jawas and a strange object that looks like a moisture vaporator. This issue is all action!   Richard and Sarah discuss this comic and find FTOOM! Fast Facts (classic comic people or places that appear now in Star Wars books, comics and films). There are plenty of these, especially as they relate to classic Kenner toys like the Jawa Sandcrawler and the Imperial Troop Transporter! We were also flabbergasted to find our heroes actually teaming up with the Jawas.     Watch the Unedited Episode and See the Comic Book Pages in this Video   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEKO-QY4Qzc   Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #32 “Jawa Express" Descript

332: Avenger's Campus vs. Galaxy's Edge

Avenger’s Campus vs. Galaxy’s Edge! Now that Avenger’s Campus has opened at DCA in California, we now have 2 fun franchise “lands” to explore at the Disneyland Resort. Richard and I visited this Marvel-themed land on Opening Day, June 4, so now it’s time to compare and contrast all aspects of Avenger’s Campus to Galaxy's Edge. We’ll break down the immersive atmosphere, merchandise, attractions, food and drinks, character interaction, land layout, opening day accessibility, and overall story.    What did Avenger’s Campus get right? What did it get horribly (and I mean HORRIBLY) wrong?? And how was the food? We answer all these questions, plus share the thoughts of several Skywalkers who watched our live recording.

331: Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark 40th Anniversary

If Adventure has a name it must be Indiana Jones! When talking about the most influential films of the last 50 years, you’ll always hear the name Raiders of the lost Ark, and there’s a good reason - from beginning to end it is just a fun filled roller coaster ride with great characters, great action pieces and fly eating Nazis. Ed Dolista from the IndyCast joins us in a Raiders of the Lost Ark 40th anniversary celebration! We reflect on our first viewing, favorite moments, its legacy and the upcoming Indiana Jone 5 - Indy in Space!    Just like last week, we asked you Skywalkers to share your first watch stories and favorite moments in our Facebook Group. We share many of your stories on this episode.   Sign up for the Skywalking Network Newsletter   Never miss a podcast, Zoom discussion link or Pop Culture Trivia!   This Week's YouTube Videos:   https://youtu.be/pDyyXx8PxxE   Also on this episode:   Join us for Pop Culture Trivia once a month at 6:
