Hey, Star Wars fan and SoR listener. This week our headline story is the sad passing of the legend James Earl Jones which has sent ripples throughout SW fandom. An amazing career and known mostly for his voice work including the iconic character Darth Vader. R.I.P.

Elsewhere in the galaxy, Ewan McGregor gets asked AGAIN if he wants to come back and do more Obi-Wan, Disney/Lucasfilm are getting sued for using Peter Cushing's likeness in Rogue One and Amandla Stenberg expresses her feelings towards fandom.

This is Spark of Rebellion, A Star Wars Shows , the weekly Star Wars podcast for casual fans and veterans alike.

We are your hosts, Garry Aylott and Mark Asquith and every single Saturday we release a brand new episode bringing you Star Wars news, reviews & discussion, our famous "top threes" and of course, the random spotlight, where we highlight a character, place, ship, object or something else peculiar from a galaxy far, far away.
