Welcome to a star-spanning episode of The Rantcor Pit!  

 

Prepare yourself for a galactic tour of sorts as Cole Houston and Eddie Medina take a look at the various "themed" planets of the Star Wars saga.  Deserts, swamps, and other environments tend to be dominant planet-wide in most cases when it comes to on screen and literary worlds.  This is the topic of lively conversation that even inspires a new contest for listeners!

The Rantcor Pit #16 - Thanks, George!

Fed up with post Episode 1 George Lucas bashing, Cole Houston and Eddie Medina join forces to give "the Father of Star Wars" some love.

 

Lucas is by no means the greatest filmmaker ever, but he did bring us the star-spanning saga that inspired this very show.  So we take a look back at the early, golden years of his career and how he brought the magic that created an international phenomenon.

The Rantcor Pit #15: Postcards From All-Con

The Rantcor Pit #14 - A Universe of Their Own

With the dissolution of the Expanded Universe, Star Wars will seemingly lose an important part of its history, the one place where female characters were nearly as prevalent as male!   

On the third episode of The Rantcor Pit Live Cole and Eddie talked about the lack of female characters in Star Wars, especially the original trilogy.  This is explored further on this episode as we are joined by Mrs. JediCole for more discussion about the women of Star Wars, most of whom are found in the Expanded Universe it would seem.

And  you finally get to hear the promised telling of the Shmi Skywalker story!

The Rantcor Pit #12 - Star Wars Fandom at G33K3 The Con

Taking the show on the road a few weeks ago, Cole Houston and Eddie Medina are now happy to present the first of a couple of episodes of The Rantcor Pit that were recorded live at conventions.  

 

This particular installment was recorded in a cavernous presentation space at G33K3 The Con, hence the echo and unique sound quality.  None the less we had a lot of fun recording a show in front of an audience and talking all about the ever changing face of Star Wars fandom.  

 

Enjoy!
