Aggressive Negotiations: A Star Wars Podcast
An Alternate Episode VIII
An Alternate Episode VIII.

Ten years ago, in movie theaters down the street….

Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens relaunched the franchise with insane box office returns, a galaxy load of goodwill, and the promise of questions answered in the NEXT episode. But many were bewildered by the path they wandered down in Episode VIII.

Jedi Masters Matt and John, joined by their fellow Jedi Master Yancy, have meditated deeply to open the doorway of the past and explore what THE LAST JEDI could have been if they had been in the writers room. Removing racing stripes is the first change. New ships are everywhere.

Regardless of how much you loved Episode VIII, or even if you didn’t, this issue of AGGRESSIVE NEGOTIATIONS promises you a lot of fun as three lifelong fans dedicate themselves to opening the mystery boxes JJ Abrams left behind to share what they thought could be inside….

10 Years of The Force Awakening
10 Years of The Force Awakening.

Ten years after Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the franchise finds itself again at a crossroads. So we decided re-examine our reactions and memories to the 2-billion-dollar behemoth film event, with the benefit of hindsight on everything that came after and the expectations that were set on that December in 2015. John and Matt are joined by noted droid builder, Dr. Sci Fi himself, Darren Moser, for this special retrospective episode.

Issue 415: Blue Glow Binders
Blue Glow Binders.

The issue this week for Aggressive Negotiations is…those funky binders that they put on Force users in the Star Wars galaxy! John & Matt have always wondered how and WHY they worked, when the Force is in all living things and Force users have the ability to tap into, and harness its energies. Will their attempts to construct head canon run afoul of actual lore? Do you have an idea to explore?

Issue 414: A New Hope for 2026
A New Hope for 2026.

In this special episode of Aggressive Negotiations, John & Matt explore what appears to be hampering Star Wars’ success in 2025: the corporate mindset! Has Lucasfilm been lost in a byzantine mess of board meeting profit discussions, causing new projects to falter and promises to wane? 

But the two Jedi Masters wonder, have we now wandered the wilderness and see a brighter future in 2026?

Galaxy of Terror
Galaxy of Terror.

Inspired by Spooky Season, John and Matt discuss the story possibilities of scary stories in the Star Wars Galaxy Far, Far Away! With a thousand thousand worlds spread across the expanse and joined by hyperspace lanes, what would a ghost story look like? Would Force Ghosts and Force users form the backbone of what people thought was possible, or would skepticism win the day?

And then they pitch a new idea for a series that could become an annual Disney+ tradition!

Galaxies, Portals, and…Sybok?
Galaxies, Portals, and…Sybok?.

John and Matt discuss the story possibilities of the new galaxy shown in the Ahsoka series. They look at where we’ve gone so far, the clues and hints that exist already in the Clone Wars animated series, and the possibilities to weave it an important role in the founding of the primary galaxy we’ve known since 1977. They even stumble on a way that it could even tie together with…Sybok and Star Trek V?
Wait. Is this the right show? Oh, yes. Of course John found a way to bring in Sybok.

The Importance of 1997
The Importance of 1997.

Matt and John discuss the impact and importance of the Star Wars Special Edition’s release in 1997, and why it was such a successful and important move for George Lucas and Lucasfilm, and the franchise as a whole. They discuss memories, nostalgia, bold experiments, and their thoughts on what it all means decades later. They revisit the 1990s, a decade dominated by a long build to the release of The Phantom Menace in 1999.

Quis est Snoke?
It’s been long enough! John and Matt try to figure out WHO Snoke was before we encountered him in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Lawrence Kasdan dropped a hint in The Force Awakens press tours that there was a history to the character, but it seems we’ll never get it. So John and Matt put on their thinking caps and try to bridge this maddening gap in Star Wars history.

Star Wars Political Talk
Star Wars Political Talk.

Matt & John discuss how free the political speech of that Galaxy Far, Far Away was (or wasn’t), and how it would have been disbursed. Did the Empire tolerate political dissent for its own nefarious goals? Did people get arrested for sharing controversial content? They explore these issues as well as the fun possibilities there were for how the Holonet must have looked, and what VPN solutions there could have been.

Greetings from Coruscant Park
Greetings from Coruscant Park.

John & Matt discuss whether there were Theme Parks in the Star Wars galaxy far, far away! They agree there must have been, but what did they look like? How can you bring a thrill to beings who travel through hyperspace? What kind of waivers did you need to sign to ride the Podrace Express Coaster?

Let’s discover what thrills, chills and roller coaster hills there were!

Why Did Vader Fly Away?
Why Did Vader Fly Away?

John & Matt discuss the possible reasons Darth Vader kept flying away from Yavin 4 after gaining control of his ship at the end of the original Star Wars. In light of the might displayed at the end of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, why didn’t we see Vader strike back a little more immediately than we got onscreen?

Galen’s Revenge
Galen’s Revenge.

John & Matt ponder why the Death Star even had a trash compactor in the first place, and chat about possible reasons to justify it, in the way that it exists. They stumble on one idea that’s just poetic enough to make sense, disturbing enough to be possible, and at the same time honors the small acts of rebellion someone like Galen Erso could have made along the way.

Sheev Palpatine Phone Home.

John & Matt play Galactic Realtors in this week’s show, searching for the perfect place to have served as Palpatine’s abode! Did he live in modest quarters below the Senate? Was the Jedi Temple his vindictive Palace of Pleasure? Would he have returned home and lived on Naboo just to give more pain to Vader? 

Where do YOU think Palpatine lived?

Issue 403: Getting Weird with the Force
Getting Weird with the Force.

It’s always risky to try to expand Star Wars lore. People have very set ideas of what works, and what doesn’t. Matt and John try to figure out the magic formula for making original Star Wars works that explore aspects we don’t understand, and whether we were ever really meant to understand them in the first place…or engage in the unanswered questions with our own imaginations.
