ForceCast #336: Getting Carried Away Whitta Story

Gary Whitta has finished his work on the first standalone film. What does it mean? Probably not that much. In this week's show, we discuss the screenwriter's departure, along with a rumor about Star Wars Detours, a smooth arrival to the world of Star Wars Rebels, and a connection between Marvel's Star Wars #1 and The Force Awakens. Plus, it's our first official live show, so listen for some back and forth with our chat room too!
