THE GANG IS BACK TOGETHER! In a special episode, Teresa Delgado joins Tricia Barr and Sarah Woloski to reminisce on 10 years of Fangirls Going Rogue. We’re not just going to walk down memory lane. Old interviews with Dave Filoni, Vanessa Marshall, Tiya Sircar, and more highlight some of the paths Star Wars storytelling has taken. In our first interview with Dave Filoni years ago, Filoni talks about being fascinated with Sabine Wren’s Darksaber training. It seems like AHSOKA brings his favorite storyline full circle. That and more insights in this for retrospective.

This is definitely a must-listen episode for Star Wars fans!

Over in our Facebook Page Bill Beechler challenged Sarah Woloski and Tricia Barr to talk about Star Trek. As long-time fans of both Star Wars and Star Trek, we accepted. There has been a long relationship between the franchises; George Lucas went to Trek conventions and Gene Rodenberry helped celebrate Star Wars’ 10 year anniversary. We explore the history between the two, discuss whether a rivalry truly exists, and the ways each has influenced the other. The episode includes ideas where to start for Star Wars fans who want to get into Star Trek and what lessons they could learn from the other. Not to be missed is our look at the first three episodes of Strange New Worlds Season 2, which is a great launching point for newbies. Ad astra!

In a previous episode of Fangirls Going Rogue recorded at the halfway point of ANDOR Season 1, we spoke about the various and unique female characters in the show. Not one woman, but many! Now that season has wrapped, we explore the various ways that characters can be compared and contrasted: Wow is Edie different as a mother than Mon? How is Maarva’s role as a parent different than Galen in Rogue One? How do we perceive sisters in arms Vel, Cinta, and Kleya? Why it’s okay to be conflicted about Dedra?

We are joined by Meredith Duckworth for this conversation as she brings valuable insight as a mother and professional.

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT OUR ANDOR MEDIA DAY HIGHLIGHTS AND HEAR FROM TONY GILROY, DIEGO LUNA, GENEVIEVE O’REILLY AND MORE!

OUR MARVEL STAR WARS ZOOM DISCUSSIONS WILL RETURN WITH THE BAD BATCH EARLY IN JANUARY. Stay tuned!
