Episode 397 - The Birth of Star Wars - May 1976 to May 1977 In May of 1976, things looked pretty bleak for George Lucas' big space fantasy movie.

This week we are talking about all the miracles that helped make Star Wars become Star Wars. So get your A New Hope punchcards...

As we come into the final lap of PODRACE MONTH here at Blast Points, we're taking the time to examine something that has confused us for decades, the many versions of the podrace. In 1999, the podrace dazzled fans when The Phantom Menace arrived in theaters but there were some who said it was too long. So when the DVD arrived in 2001, what did George Lucas do? He made it even longer. And there were deleted scenes on the disc that were even longer still! And then it changed for the blu...

In 2004, as part of the Star Wars Fan Club, both Jason and Gabe received in the mail actual animation cels from the legendary Ewoks animated series. For decades, Jason didn't know who the weird creature with a flower on its head was and had his stashed away in his Art of Attack of the Clones book. Last month he rediscovered it and found out it's from the Ewoks season 2 episode, BRINGING UP NORKY. So that can only mean one thing - Jason and Gabe have to watch Bringing Up Norky three...
