Halloween is just around the corner! Taking a little step aside from Star Wars, the DetBlock Crew discuss other great movies and shows that are perfect to watch during this time of year... horror and scary movies! Are you a slasher movie person? A psychological thriller person? A paranormal of scary creature movie person? Or maybe you're all about the fun and silly Halloween movies / shows? Find out what the Crew enjoy watching and what they are currently watching!

They then continue last week's discussion about how Star Wars could live in Halloween or horror movies. This time, Dustin brings his creative juices on what he thinks would be a good Star Wars thriller!

This then transitions the DetBlock Crew to revisit the conversation about whether or not Disney would ever give up the rights to the Star Wars franchise. Will they? Do you think they should? Would we want them to? You might be surprised by our responses!

For this week's episode, the DetBlock Crew bounce around a few topics. To start out, they discuss some updates and news that revolves around Comicon, whether it be current or upcoming ones. On that topic, they then go into some releases as it relates to 2025 Star Wars Celebration in Japan.

Next, the Crew decide to be a little festive to get into the Halloween spirit. As they have been watching some scary movies or Halloween classics, they discuss if the aspect of horror could be brought into Star Wars. Could the franchise we all know and love dip into that type of genre and release a Star Wars Halloween movie or series [outside of the LEGO version one]? What possible themes or aspects could be tapped in here?

Finally, Bogie catches us up with where he is at in his first time watching Star Wars Clone Wars. He's gone back to watch the Clone Wars movie and he is now up to episode 10 of season 1 of the show. He shares his thoughts and notes from his watching as Mike lives vicariously through him, wanting to go back and re-live his own first time watching the show.

The DetBlock crew might have started off talking a little bit about sports [hey, we love our sports!], but then they first dive in to talking a bit about Star Wars video games. News came out that Outlaws is underperforming, but there's still plenty of time for that to turn around. However, this could also just be a continuation of the times for the franchise and the, what some say, misses Disney and Lucasfilm have made recently. Either way, there are still plenty of fun Star Wars video games out there, and Bogie and Mike talk through a few of those.

They then go into an interview that was recently aired where Star Wars Theory sits down with Stuart Beattie and they talk about Stuart's plan and story line for the original content that was going to be released about Obi-Wan Kenobi. Originally, instead of a show, Kenobi was going to be brought to the big screen with his own trilogy and Mr. Beattie wrote the script for all 3 movies. With everything going on in the early 2020's, this ended up getting scrubbed, changed up quite a bit, and turned into a show. If you haven't already, go listen to this interview. The original plan for Beattie's trilogy is absolutely AMAZING and it's a shame we never got it; only elements of it in the #Kenobi show.

They then go into discussing some defining actors that just perfectly fit their character, inside and outside of Star Wars. From Heath Ledger as the Joker, William Shatner as Captain Kirk, Hayden Christianson as Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader, or Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, some actors just perfectly hit their mark. Unfortunately, for some of them, we lose them as soon as they bring those characters to life.

Finally, the Crew close with talking about Bogie's initial dive into the animated show #CloneWars. We are super excited to follow along with him as he lives through this for the first time. He's going to LOVE it!
