  • Michelle Ang: Omega from THE BAD BATCH
    2025/06/27

    For three seasons, we followed along with The Clone Wars spinoff THE BAD BATCH and all of their adventures. Among the troopers was the young clone Omega, who quickly emerged as one of the most likeable Star Wars characters in a long while. Joining us “In The Cantina” for the very first time is Omega herself, Michelle Ang, who shares stories from behind-the-scenes at THE BAD BATCH along with how she relates to Omega and more. You will find Michelle as likeable as Omega, probably even more. In News Headlines, we react to rumors that Daisy Ridley’s “New Jedi Order” film featuring Rey is rumored to have suffered yet another setback and we speculate about the future of the entire STAR WARS film franchise, along with more casting rumors. ANDOR’s Diego Luna is filling in behind the desk at “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and we have highlights of his conversation with Adria Arjona (Bix!) Plus, Ewoks eating humans, ILM Light and Magic season 2 and more!

  • STAR WARS: STARFIGHTER News and Rumors
    2025/06/20

    STAR WARS: STARFIGHTER will go in front of cameras later this year and we have fresh casting info, rumors and speculation about this upcoming film starring Ryan Gosling. Mark Hamill is on a media tour to promote his new film “The Life Of Chuck” but that doesn’t stop interviewers from asking him about his Star Wars history. Mark addresses rumors that he’s done playing Luke Skywalker and provides insight into that famous wardrobe malfunction from earlier this year when his pants fell down in front of an audience of his peers at the BAFTA awards. We also have fresh interview highlights from Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy, Bail Organa actor Benjamin Bratt, and Sam Witwer, who talks about the upcoming series, MAUL: SHADOW LORD. And for something completely different, we present you with a connection between John Lennon and STAR WARS that you may never have known before.

  • Live at The Forest Moon Festival 2025
    2025/06/06

    RFR made the journey out to the beautiful redwood forests of California for The Forest Moon Festival celebrating the Endor shooting locations from RETURN OF THE JEDI. From Del Norte County to Humboldt County, we were part of a “caravan of courage” traveling up and down the Pacific Northwest to podcast at various event locations. Joining us were original ROTJ Ewok Kevin Thompson and our pal, FANBOYS director Kyle Newman. We talk to fans, cosplayers, artists, musicians, and locals who share their pride for living in a region that served as the Forest Moon home of the Ewoks. Hear from those who remember when Jedi was being filmed and contributed, along with those who celebrate the legacy. We even find out which “Jedi” cast member got pulled over for speeding! "Magical" was a word that couldn’t be overused throughout the weekend. This week, you can hear what we did. Next week, we’ll tell you the stories. Yub Nub!

  • Life After Andor
    2025/05/23

    Now that ANDOR has wrapped up, we aren’t quite ready yet to let it go. We scoured the web to collect the best interview highlights featuring Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy, who provides valuable insights into the finished series and gives us a lot to talk about. FORTNITE recently revealed an all-new A.I. powered Darth Vader character that players can interact with via voice text, so naturally because it’s the internet, people started to manipulate the “Sith-Bot” to say outrageous and unthinkable things. Of course, we had to try ourselves so you can hear what Darth has to say about Rebel Force Radio. It ain’t pretty. Big Announcement! We reveal info about when ticket sales will begin for this September’s RFR at RANCHO OBI-WAN event. Plus, Jimmy Mac reveals his list of Top 5 all-time Star Wars creatives, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK turns 45 and more!

  • Andor and The Underworld
    2025/05/10

    In the wake of the amazing “Ghorman Massacre” arc from ANDOR season 2, there is still much ground to cover. We have highlights from a fresh interview with Andor writer Dan Gilroy, brother of showrunner Tony Gilroy. Dan provides some quality insight into the characters and the situations they find themselves in. Turning our ears toward ANDOR, we take audio of The Ghorman Front's desperate underground radio broadcast into the RFR Sound Lab to clean it up and hear it all, word-for-dramatic-word. Spotlighting Star Wars animation, we breakdown TALES OF THE UNDERWORLD and react to the stories featuring Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane. And Listener Feedback presents the question: Does Mon Mothma know The Emperor is a Sith Lord?
