This week on Skytalkers, we're diving into one of the strangest and most delightful corners of Star Wars history: R2-D2: Beneath the Dome. Released in 2001 as an official Lucasfilm mockumentary, the three-part special chronicled the "life and career" of R2-D2 as if he were a real Hollywood actor, complete with career highs, personal struggles, celebrity feuds, and a disastrous bungee-jumping stunt. On this episode:

The history of the project

The incredible cast and crew featured

Our favorite moments + some of the funniest bits

What legacy this mockumentary leaves for Star Wars marketing and humor (also, the Skywalker Ranch pool).

… and so much more.

We’re re-releasing one of our favorite episodes from our archive: Caitlin and Charlotte discuss Leigh Brackett, the first writer of the sequel to 1977’s Star Wars. Known as “The Queen of Space Opera,” Leigh Brackett worked with George Lucas to write a Star Wars sequel before it was called The Empire Strikes Back. Sadly, Brackett tragically died of cancer before completing the project and Lawrence Kasden was brought on — but several of her ideas and concepts made it to the screen. Caitlin and Charlotte discuss Brackett’s life, her involvement with Star Wars, her 2nd draft, what they liked about it and what they didn’t, and so much more.
