Everything You Fear to Lose: Remembering Star Wars: Rebels

1. Spark of Rebellion

“We should watch Star Wars Rebels.”

“Hmm.” I don’t look up from my phone. I’m scrolling through Twitter, words and images rolling along without my registering them.

My then-fiancé, now-husband, has made some variation on this request several times in the past few months. It’s 2016, somewhere during the hiatus betweens seasons 2 and 3, and the Star Wars renaissance is building momentum after the enthusiastic response to The Force Awakens and the curiosity surrounding the yet-to-be-released Rogue One. It’s before the election that changes everything, before Carrie Fisher’s death, before my Leia tattoo, before we start our podcast, before, before–

And my greatest problem, in that moment, is that I don’t know how to tell him that I’m not quite ready to let go of The Clone Wars, which we’ve recently binged on Netflix, not ready to make room in my heart for the Ghost crew’s stories yet.

Hello and welcome to our weekly round up of news from and of interest to the Galaxy Far, Far Away. The news this week was a little lean, but excellent nonetheless. Have at it, folks!

D23 2019 Announced!

This week, Disney announced dates for 2019’s D23 Expo. Disney’s next magical fan convention is officially scheduled to occur on August 23-25, 2019 at the Anaheim Convention Center with tickets on sale as soon as this August. Details on programming (including the annual Mousequerade and Design Challenge) are yet to be revealed, but if the 2017 convention is any indication, it’s sure to be a delight.

Looking for Leia on Seed & Spark

Our friends with the Looking for Leia Documentary have launched a campaign on Seed & Spark to help them turn what was originally a feature-length documentary into a six-episode docuseries. The series, which has been called “a joyous gender justice project” highlights the experiences and contributions of women in the Star Wars fandom. Some of us here at Tosche Station have contributed our own fandom stories to the project and we hope to see it come to fruition. Learn more about the project on LookingForLeia.com and by following @LookingForLeia on Twitter.

That’s it for the week, stay tuned to us here at Tosche Station for more news and information from a Galaxy Far Far Away. As always, send Star Wars news tips our way when you see them.
