You know what's wild?

Most people are still overpaying for car insurance just because it's a pain to switch. That's why there's Jerry. Jerry is the only app that compares rates from over 100 insurers in minutes and helps you switch fast with no spam calls or hidden fees. Drivers who save with Jerry could save over $1400 a year. Before you renew your car insurance policy, do yourself a favor. Download the Jerry app and see what you could save today.

This holiday, all plans, even unlimited, are just $15 a month. A holiday deal this good obviously deserves an enormously expensive holiday song, like All I Want.

Right. Okay, we can afford that. You don't forget the music budget. We're going to stick with whatever's in the public domain. Give it a try at midmobile.com/switch.

Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months or $180 for a 12-month plan required, $15 per month equivalent, taxes and fees extra. New customer offer for initial plan term only, greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy.

Jason Swank (1:15)

Let's see terms.

SPEAKER_4 (1:19)

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

Jimmy Mac (1:24)

This is Rebel Force Radio.

SPEAKER_5 (1:27)

Your source for the Force.

Jimmy Mac (1:28)

Star Wars News and Commentary.

SPEAKER_5 (1:30)

With Jason Swank and Jimmy Mac.

SPEAKER_8 (1:32)

I've seen Star Wars five hundred times.

SPEAKER_4 (1:34)

So was I'm on.

Jason Swank (1:36)

This station is now the ultimate power in the universe.

SPEAKER_5 (1:39)

I suggest we use it.

Jimmy Mac (1:41)

Now it's time for Rebel Force Radio.

Jason Swank (1:49)

You know how we say on this show all the time that we are fellow travelers with you. Rebel Force Radio is, you know, sort of our vehicle that we sort of drive around in and explore fandom and experience.

All Things Star Wars, it's very true this week because I'm looking at the rundown and I see that we have Ahsoka Season 2 updates and casting speculation.

And I understand that J Mac has the detail. I don't know what any of this is. This is going to be very, I don't, I did not see this story. I don't know if this is some sort of secret source or what, but I'm excited to hear about Ahsoka Season 2, some new updates. We covered some of those last week on the show, but casting speculation. Who is there to speculate about? I mean, you know, I don't know, but we're going to find out this week on RFR. So, so grateful for you to be back with us and grateful to be back with you all here for another week of your source for the force Rebel Force Radio. Plus going into the Cantina this week with Industrial Light and Magic, their own Paul Huston. Paul is a veteran of ILM. Going back to the Original Trilogy days all the way through the prequels. And he is, he's got lots of stories and so excited to share that with you. Plus we haven't done this in a while, an outrageous, unthinkable story featuring The Chosen One himself, Hayden Christensen. The way that you hear this, this is unbelievable. Anyway, great show ahead here on Rebel Force Radio and by Rebel Force Radio. If you're new to the program and introductions may be in order. My name is Jason and with me as always, my good friend and yours from Chicago, Jimmy Mac.

Jimmy Mac (3:40)

Hey, Jason. Hey, Star Wars fans. You know what this feels like? This feels like one of those old fashioned podcasts where we have all the segments, we got your listener feedback, we have your news headlines, outrageous, unthinkable story of the week. So, it's been a busy year, you know, we've had the Mall Shadowlord show, the Mandalorian and Grogu, RFR in Cleveland, RFR in Dallas. But now that the year is starting to ramp down a little bit, I think we'll have time to get to some of those more traditional segments that you're used to hearing here on RFR. Listen, I'm not promising the return of the Billy Dee quote of the week, okay? Because I think we've mined every quote possible.

So that was a mainstay of the show for years, going all the way back to the old show. And we got to a point where it's like, geez, I don't think there's anything else that's been recorded by Billy Dee Williams that we haven't pulled the quote of the week from.

You know, we're looking at YouTube interviews and art classes that he was teaching.

Jason Swank (5:01)

Yeah, that was, those were good times. And of course, all those shows are available in the voluminous archives of Rebel Force Radio and some really good stuff. And it's great to hear from people. I'm always surprised, Jim, given how topical Rebel Force Radio has been, we like to think of it as sort of a time capsule in a way, covering Star Wars fandom, and you can kind of go back and get a snapshot of how everybody was reacting to various things. But people continually go back as they're introduced to RFR and listen to old episodes. Some people go, oh, I went back to the first episode. Now, you know, and it's incredible. There's a lot of episodes to listen to. But the fact that, yeah, people continue to go back and listen to those old ones, especially new listeners coming in. You know, they want to get caught up. What are some of the inside jokes and things like that? And it's a great way to do it.
