RebelForce Radio

Before the dark times, before the Empire...I mean before the internet, getting news about Star Wars was not an easy task. Ten year old me would faithfully read Starlog magazine every month for any article about Star Wars or the rumored sequel. Ten year old me's little brain would have exploded if he could see how much information can be gathered now and how fast. But even in today's world, it is nice to have one place that helps bring you all you need to know and do it in an entertaining fashion. Enter the podcast.

And for me, there has only ever been one podcast and that was the Forcecast. I would eagerly listen every week as Jason and Pete would bring the news and so much more around my favorite franchise. But more than just being a source of news, these were guys who I wanted to hang out with. They were fans! They were just like me...only with much better speaking voices. Then Pete left and Jimmy Mac entered as co-host, but the show remained just as awesome.

I have to admit that I am kind of a fanboy about the Forcecast; I was one of the prize winners on their three year anniversary show. Hard to match the excitement I felt when I heard my name called as a winner. One of the highlights of Star Wars Celebration V for me was getting to meet and talk with Jason. A picture of me holding the Forcecast microphone sits proudly on my desk.

So I was floored when the unexpected news broke that Jason and Jimmy were leaving the Forcecast. I thought to myself "How can they leave the Forcecast? They ARE the Forcecast!" I have no idea what caused this, it all feels very sudden. First Curto and now Jason and Jimmy. It feels vaguely of Order 66...but I digress. The upside of all this...and the point of this posting...is that Jason and Jimmy are going out and starting their own Star Wars podcast.
