Greetings, Star Wars fans! We’re back with another edition of the Spoiled Blue Milk recap. We’re doing double-time this week to make up for last week’s hiatus. Let’s get to it without delay!
In Memoriam: Gary Kurtz
One of the greats in Star Wars history has passed, Gary Kurtz, the producer of Star Wars: A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back died on Sept. 23rd. He was no doubt a huge part of what Star Wars is and has become. He will be remembered fondly for his work.
Lots of New Details about Favreua TV Series
These new details come from Making Star Wars. First, they posted a number of set photos. More recently, Jason has tweeted this video:

No doubt the “Star Wars vibe” is strong. These sets seem to have a lot of similarity to some of the markets on Tatooine. Although it is difficult to say for sure if this is on Tatooine or a similar planet. The “Now This is Podcasting” crew recorded the latest episode from this viewing point, and go over it in more detail and give their thoughts.
Kathy Kennedy Extends her Contract as head of Lucasfilm.
This one doesn’t surprise me, although I saw a bunch of people whining about this one youtube. Given that three out of the four films have been commercial successes, and that Bob Iger has taken the blame for the fourth one, I’d say she is doing all right. Even if The Last Jedi we controversial with some fans who may actually include a lot of bots, it was still a critical and commercial success. Let’s put it this way, of all the critiques I have heard about TLJ and Solo, nobody says they were poorly produced. The production on these films is second to none. Not to mention that the execs at Disney that made this call know a lot more about what is in the works at Lucasfilm, so I think this vote of confidence says a lot about future content.
Vader Immortal
We also got the first official trailer of Vader Immortal, which is new content that blurs the line between game and movie. We’ll look forward to more details on this, but so far it looks like a unique and exciting experience! I’m not a huge fan of VR, but if the new tech makes this more accessible to a wider audience, then maybe I’ll take a look.
