ALT: Star Wars: Rey and Porg Pointing

A big production update on the next instalment of the Star Wars Skywalker Saga has reportedly leaked. Jon Watts is set to direct Episode X.

Welcome back into the Cafe, Anthony and I are back in the Cafe this weekend flying duo style, as Tristain is off doing Tristain things. They kick things off by catching up on what they’ve been up to over the last couple of weeks, swapping stories and easing back into that familiar Blue Milk groove. From there, the conversation shifts to the “state” of Star Wars: where the franchise feels like it’s heading, what’s exciting, what’s uncertain, and how the galaxy far, far away continues to evolve. It’s thoughtful, honest, and very Blue Milk Cafe in all the best ways. After the outro, stay tuned for the next installment of the NPR New Hope Radio Drama Episode 10: The Luke Skywalker Initiative. Celebrate what you love. Ignore what you hate. I have spoken.

Welcome back into the Cafe, episode 68 arrives with a twist worthy of a plot from the Holonet: Tristain wasn’t able to join us this weekend off doing mysterious “Tristain things” so it’s just myself and Anthony holding down the Cafe. With the two of us at the mic, we decided to take a tour around the galaxy and catch up on the latest Star Wars news, all sourced from our favorite corner of the Holonet, Bespin Bulletin. We break down the newest updates, share our thoughts, and somehow… miraculously… stay completely on topic. Yes. Really. No tangents. No derailments. No sudden half‑hour detours into Ghostbusters, PS4s, or 1980s nostalgia. Uncharacteristic for the Cafe but here we are. After the credits, stay tuned for the next installment of the NPR A New Hope Radio Drama,continuing with the next episode in the series, episode 9: Rogues, Rebels and Robots Celebrate what you love.

Welcome back into the cafe, this is basically what happens when you let Jeff, Anthony, and Tristan back into the Cafe without adult supervision. First order of business: catching up on life, fandom, and whatever random nonsense we’ve all been up to. It’s warm, it’s fun, and it’s exactly the kind of reunion that guarantees at least one “Wait, how did we get here?” moment. Then we attempt to talk about the music of The Empire Strikes Back one of the greatest soundtracks in the galaxy but naturally, the conversation takes detours, side quests, and full‑blown hyperspace jumps. John Williams deserves better, but he also probably expects this from us by now. And because it wouldn’t be a Blue Milk Cafe episode without going gloriously off script, we deliver. Repeatedly. After the outro, stick around for Episode 4 of the A New Hope Radio Drama: While Giants Mark Time, because nothing says “premium Cafe experience” like bonus Star Wars storytelling. The opening audio is an excerpt from the BBC 1980 Documentary, Star Wars... by John Williams.  Link to the doc is below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3C9fOH-lnU Celebrate what you love.
