Children of the Watch: House of the Dragon

No episode this week! Some unexpected things came up for both Mac and Alex, but we will return next week with a full scene by scene breakdown of Episode 4 of Season 3 of House of the Dragon. In the meantime, enjoy this rerelease of our interview with Andor creator, Tony Gilroy!
Join Children of the Watch for a roundtable conversation with Tony Gilroy, the Creator and Executive Producer behind Andor.
Alex got the wonderful opportunity to sit down with Tony and some of the greatest voices in Star Wars fan media, including Star Wars Explained, Triad of the Force, and Blast Points to discuss Andor Season 2. The discussion includes the introduction of the Force to the show, some of the real-world political and historical roots of Andor, and even Tony's process for coming up with Star Wars names.
Special thank you to Tony and eall the wonderful shows involved in the discussion, and also to Lucasfilm for the invitation and for capturing the footage and audio from the conversation.

Join Children of the Watch as we discuss Star Wars: Starfighter, the next Star Wars film coming in 2027. We run down everything we know about the cast, settings, and potential plot points, as well as speculate what could be waiting for us in this next adventure in a Galaxy Far, Far Away.
Then, we continue the speculation train by discussing what we think Simon Kinberg's rumored Star Wars trilogy could look like, as well as talking about the status of other unconfirmed Star Wars projects.
-Could Ryan Gosling's character be an ex-First Order TIE pilot?
-Will Rey show up in Starfighter?
-Could Flynn Gray's character be the next major Star Wars hero?
-Is Amy Addams going to make it to the end of the film?
