Radio Free Endor – Episode 121: The Future of Disney & Star Wars
In this episode, Jamie and Christopher break down the latest shake-up at The Walt Disney Company and what it could mean for the future of Star Wars.
With Bob Iger stepping aside once again and Josh D'Amaro stepping into a leadership role, Disney finds itself at a crossroads. Can new leadership reinvigorate creativity, or will the same challenges continue to hold things back?
We dive into:
The impact of Disney's leadership changes
Ongoing struggles within the film division
Whether upcoming projects like Moana and Toy Story 5 can steady the ship
The uncertain future of Star Wars storytelling
When it comes to a galaxy far, far away, we explore what's next—from potential new films to the possibility of revisiting characters like Rey Skywalker. Is there room for bold new stories, or is Disney playing it too safe?
Plus, we tackle the big questions:
Do fans really want live-action reboots of stories like The Clone Wars?
Could the Old Republic finally get its moment?
And what does Star Wars need right now to truly thrive again?
It's a time of uncertainty—but also opportunity.
Join us as we look ahead and ask: what is the future of Disney… and Star Wars?

Episode 119 The Podcast Before Christmas
Welcome to our Christmas episode of Radio Free Endor #119
And its The Podcast Before Christmas..
After an eight-month break, Chris and I are finally back behind the mics, catching up on what we've been up to — from new jobs to changing tech and how it's all shaken up our day-to-day lives.
We dive headfirst into the latest Star Wars news, breaking down recent trailers and chatting about the much-talked-about partnership between Disney and OpenAI. That leads us into a wider discussion about AI, creativity, and the future of content creation, and how this tech could shape entertainment going forward.
There's plenty of classic Radio Free Endor chatter too — including some brilliant Star Wars merchandise, from themed dartboards and darts to collectibles that really caught our eye. We also wander into gaming territory, talking about highlights from The Game Awards, the reveal of Star Wars Galactic Racer, and the long-awaited Knights of the Old Republic remake.
Along the way, we touch on everything from Tomb Raider's future, Columbia's Endor collection, and even some unexpected tech talk (yes, including cars and LIDAR). It's a relaxed, festive catch-up packed with Star Wars, gaming, tech, and the usual Endor-fuelled tangents.
Grab a drink, settle in, and join us back on Endor.
Merry Christmas
