George Lucas told Brendan Hay how he designed the Ewoks: artists kept bringing fierce bears, and he kept pushing back, dare to be cute. They leaned in, and the choice... was not well received. youtu.be/VfEGcm5QVrE #StarWarsDetours #YoungIndyChroniclers #StarWars

George banned Mara Jade from a Luke pitch unless she died, then had the writers convinced "Grand Moff Tarkin" was really "Grand Moof," before admitting he was messing with them. youtu.be/VfEGcm5QVrE #StarWarsDetours #YoungIndyChroniclers #StarWars

Star Wars Detours writers had a term for the stuff that would never answer to official continuity: D-Canon. It's short for Detours Canon, but it sounds exactly like decanonize, which tracks, since none of it had to sync up with anything official.

Rachel Bloom, the musical mastermind behind Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, wrote the first Star Wars musical, but it never made it to screen. A pod racing musical set on Tatooine, where Darth Vader goes undercover to race one last time, chasing the days he raced as a kid.

Star Wars Detours Head Writer Brendan Hay describes George Lucas's role in the Detours writers' room like bumper bowling. The writers kept pitching, and George mostly let it ride, stepping in only when something went too far.

Listening to @youngindypod.bsky.social's huge interview (3,5h!) with Rick McCallum, and it's a treasure trove of wild filmmaking tales and labor laws skimming that could only happen on a George Lucas set. Essential listening for any behind-the-scenes buff! youtu.be/TWRyh-MOb6g?...

Ben Burtt showed us his first cut of Beersheba, Palestine 1917. No romance. No well scene. No kiss. Daniel Craig is killed by a horse. Catherine Zeta-Jones is tracked through the city by her own blood trail. The entire ending was reshot on a completely different set.

In 1929 Jiddu Krishnamurti stood before thousands of followers and told them to stop following him. They were expecting salvation. He gave them doubt, skepticism, and the tools for looking within. "Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever."

George Lucas had a nuanced relationship with nostalgia. Young Indiana Jones shows a world before the wars, before the empire, before everything broke. Obi-Wan doesn't miss the Republic because it was fun. He misses it because under the Republic, you couldn't blow up planets. Full episode out now.
