Episode 397 - The Birth of Star Wars - May 1976 to May 1977 In May of 1976, things looked pretty bleak for George Lucas' big space fantasy movie. It was over schedule, over budget, nothing worked and the studio was getting nervous. Somehow in 12 months, everything changed and the movie opened to sell out crowds and became the phenomenon that continues today. This week we are talking about all the miracles that helped make Star Wars become Star Wars. So get your A New Hope punchcards out, listen today and celebrate the love!

As we come into the final lap of PODRACE MONTH here at Blast Points, we're taking the time to examine something that has confused us for decades, the many versions of the podrace. In 1999, the podrace dazzled fans when The Phantom Menace arrived in theaters but there were some who said it was too long. So when the DVD arrived in 2001, what did George Lucas do? He made it even longer. And there were deleted scenes on the disc that were even longer still! And then it changed for the blu ray and then it changed again for the 3D release, Listen as we go over as many changes as we can and wonder how we'll survive this year's big rerelease! So yell some nonsense for Jabba, celebrate the love and listen today! watch every version of the podrace all at once here: https://youtu.be/2KHGflJyfaM watch the original theatrical version here : https://youtu.be/2KHGflJyfaM JOIN THE BLAST POINTS ARMY and SUPPORT BLAST POINTS ON PATREON!

In 2004, as part of the Star Wars Fan Club, both Jason and Gabe received in the mail actual animation cels from the legendary Ewoks animated series. For decades, Jason didn't know who the weird creature with a flower on its head was and had his stashed away in his Art of Attack of the Clones book. Last month he rediscovered it and found out it's from the Ewoks season 2 episode, BRINGING UP NORKY. So that can only mean one thing - Jason and Gabe have to watch Bringing Up Norky three times in a row! Listen along as they make deep observations, get confused, feel bad for the animators and compare watching it to falling asleep! So, get some cookies out of the pouch, listen today and celebrate the love! Check out Maureen Kuppe's Ewok Fan Club Cels page: http://maureenkuppe.com/ewokcels/ Maureen is a legend : http://maureenkuppe.com/tantive4/insight.html watch Bringing Up Norky here.

This week we're taking a close up look at that age old question that's puzzled millions for decades - SO WHAT THE HECK ARE MIDICHLORIANS? Inspired by a 2013 StarWars.com article by JW Rinzler, we're talking about how George Lucas' thoughts on the Force and just who can use it and why have and have not changed, why Sabine's journey in Ahsoka honors that why people should just relax about the whole microscopic life forms thing. So take a blood sample, listen today and celebrate the love!
