This week’s Geekville Radio gives you a Star Wars fix AND a Doctor Who fix in the same episode. Episode VIII now has the official title The Last Jedi. What does this title mean? And what could this lead to with Luke and Rey? Seth flies solo to address these thoughts.

In the main part of the show, Seth and Mark from Examining The Doctor are joined by Jason Hunt and Paul Gann from Talking Timelords. Together they discuss the recently released animated adaption of Doctor Who Power Of The Daleks. It’s the first time this story has been seen in 50 years. But with four Doctor Who geeks, the conversation does frequently bounce about to all aspects of Doctor Who.

If you’re a Doctor Who fan, this episode is for you!

Also Star Wars related, Princess/General Leia Organa was supposed to have a larger role in Episode IX. Now producers are meeting to decide what should be done with the character. Could we see a recast? A CGI motion capture a la Grand Moff Tarkin?

Carrie Fisher, Princess Leia in The Star Wars Franchise, Dead at 60

It is with a heavy heart that we present our first show of 2017. This week’s episode of Geekville Radio is dedicated to the career of Carrie Fisher, who passed away last week at the age of 60 from cardiac arrest complications.

Seth, Crazy Train, and Clint from GeekDig Cast as they talk about Miss Fisher’s career, and share memories. Of course there is a lot of Star Wars talk, but there is also much more to Carrie Fisher than Princess Leia. From Blues Brothers to When Harry Met Sally to her work as a writer and script doctor. There are some surprising movie titles that Carrie helped tweak scripts for.

Carrie Fisher, Princess Leia in The Star Wars Franchise, Dead at 60

Actress and New York Times bestselling author Carrie Fisher passed away Tuesday morning from complications of cardiac arrest. Fisher suffered a heart attack while on a flight from London to Los Angeles on Friday afternoon. She was 60 years old.

Born to parents Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, Carrie Fisher took to acting at a very young age, appearing in her first feature film Shampoo in 1975. But it was her iconic role as Princess Leia Organa in the original Star Wars trilogy that launched her into superstardom. She also had memorable roles in The Blues Brothers, When Harry Met Sally, and Hannah And Her Sisters.

In addition to acting, Fisher was an accomplished writer with four novels, two screenplays, and three non-fiction books on her resume. Her novel Postcards From The Edge was also adapted into a feature film, and she doctored scripts for several other movies including Sister Act, Hook (in which she also had an on-screen cameo), and The Wedding Singer.

Fans and celebrities alike took to social media quickly to pay tribute to the late actress.

We here at Geekville Radio wish to extend our deepest condolences to the Fisher family in this time of grief.
