Talking Bird

The first Talking Bird of 2016 finds the Bird Boys ready to talk all things Star Wars. The Force Awakens has been in theater just over a month when Lucasfilm announces that Rian Johnson's Episode VIII has been pushed back to December 15th, 2017. We discuss a recent video interview with ILM /TFA digital & practical effects artists and a Entertainment Weekly hosted interview with the writers of Episode VII http://www.slashfilm.com/star-wars-visual-effects/ http://www.ew.com/article/2016/01/16/ew-podcast-star-wars-force-awakens-creators-discuss-secrets-universe We also discuss our anxieties about "Rogue One" and generally dislike Marvel's "Vader Down" comic series. We also pay tribute to an "oral history" of the message board that partially led to TB's creation. http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/issue-sections/headline-story/15503/the-most-important-comedy-message-board-in-the-world-an-oral-history-of-a-special-thing/   Talk to us. talkingbirdcast@gmail.com www.twitter.com/talkingbirdcast As always, thanks for l
