Tricia Barr (Fangirls Going Rogue \/ Fangirl Blog) and BJ Priester (Fangirl Blog) join us to unpack two huge developments: the evolution of Star Wars: Galaxy\u2019s Edge and the major Lucasfilm leadership restructuring. Star Wars: Galaxy\u2019s Edge in Disneyland is officially expanding beyond a single timeline, with all changes set to debut April 29th. New storylines on Batuu will span multiple eras\u2014from the Galactic Civil War to the Age of the Resistance\u2014adding Luke, Leia, Han, and Darth Vader into the land. Disney is also rotating new artifacts into Dok-Ondar\u2019s and transforming First Order Cargo into Black Spire Surplus. The BEST update according to Sarah? John Williams\u2019 legendary scores are finally coming to Galaxy\u2019s Edge. Music from the first six films\u2014including the Main Title, the Force Theme, and classic motifs like \u201cHan Solo and the Princess\u201d\u2014will now fill the land. Nostalgia matters, and this addition delivers the emotional Star Wars immersion we\u2019ve have been craving since the land first opened in 2019. All these changes will fully take effect on April 29. And just one day after this news, another bombshell dropped: Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down as president of Lucasfilm after 14 years, returning to producing, while Dave Filoni takes over as President and Chief Creative Officer alongside Lynwen Brennan as Co-President. Kennedy also addressed long-rumored, stalled film projects in a candid Deadline interview, and we discuss in detail. Lucasfilm is entering a bold new era, both in the parks and on screen. We speculate what\u2019s to come. What do you think?? Watch the YouTube version here for the best experience. Listen to the podcast episode here.
