This week on Around the Galaxy, Pete and Nick welcome filmmaker and pop-culture storyteller J.C. Reifenberg, the creative mind behind Hollywood’s legendary Scum & Villainy Cantina. What began as a Star Wars–themed pop-up bar has become a full-time geek paradise in the heart of Los Angeles, and JC takes us inside the fandom magic that keeps it thriving.
We dive into:
✨ JC’s personal Star Wars fandom and what it was like living through the long gap between the Original Trilogy and the Prequels.
🍻 The origins of Scum & Villainy Cantina, how a pop-up became a permanent destination, and the unforgettable cosplay events and fan gatherings it has hosted.
🌍 The bar’s role as a global fan hub, keeping the spirit of Star Wars alive—even through challenges like the pandemic. Plus, in this week’s Star Wars news roundup:
💥 Gina Carano settles her lawsuit with Lucasfilm and Disney.
🌌 Rumors swirl of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s return in Ahsoka.
🎬 The truth about Finn’s arc in the sequel trilogy.
🛡️ New updates about Din Djarin’s future in The Mandalorian.
