You may well be aware that those fine folks over at Empire magazine produce regular podcasts that not only pester the very top of the iTunes charts but are also fantastically informative and fun to boot. To paraphrase a certain galactic despot, yesterdays episode was of great interest as Solo: A Star Wars Story director Ron Howard dropped by to discuss the film.
“Solo! Nothing but Solo!” Solo: A Star Wars Story, the standalone tale that fills us in on the origin of everyone’s favourite Corellian smuggler, opened a couple of weeks ago. And here, at last, is the Empire Podcast spoiler special, in which Chris Hewitt, Helen O’Hara, James Dyer, and Ben Travis gather in the podbooth to discuss the film’s major revelations. Along the way they answer some listener questions, debut the world’s worst Jar Jar Binks impression, and dissect the Kessel Run in glorious detail. But that’s not all. The film’s director, the legend that is Ron Howard, drops by to talk to James and Nick de Semlyen about many of the film’s plot twists and turns, and the odd Easter egg. Including that one. You know the one. So, sit back, relax and listen to our latest Solo venture.
