It is Star Wars week on TechnoRetro Dads (May the 4th Be With You) and we’re loaded with Star Wars news, activities, and even some speculations as JediShua and shazbazzar share some of their favorite things with their kids and each other.  We even play what may be the longest game of Star Wars Trivial Pursuit.  

Bruce Boxleitner is working on a brand new project called “Lantern City”.

TRON may (or may not) be in an upcoming Disney Animation sequel.

Some of the rollercoasters of the 70s (and even before) are remembered.

Steve Jobs considers PepsiCo sugar-water sales.

Falco tops the charts in the United Kingdom.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is consolidated into a one hour play.

Don’t forget to share the TechnoRetro Dads lunchbox on Facebook.
You can win a copy of Cris Macht’s fan documentary, The Force Within Us.

Shower, shave, and grab some breakfast (bacon, perhaps?) and tune in to this week's TechnoRetro Dads -- it's the best way to start out your work week.  Today, time is of the essence: find out how to vote in the BTVA awards, submit your original clip to Empire Uncut (the Star Wars Uncut sequel), and equip yourself for some fun at work with beer cans and razor blades.  

JediShua and shazbazzar talk with the kiddos about Jurassic Park 3D, crack open some Star Wars news, venture back in computer archaeology to uncover ancient Apples, and find out what the judge had to say about the relationship between TRON and Robotron 2084.

Greetings, Programs!

What a week!  We've been watching Wreck It Ralph, following TR3N director Joseph Kosinski, charting the course of five new Star Wars movies (year-by-year in the theaters), drinking Classic Coke, keeping up with Apple and uBananas, and more for a full week of TechnoRetro Dads.

Keep up with the news (both current and retro) with a History Lesson each week.  Share your TechnoRetro memories with friends and family.  Speculate about upcoming movies with or without spoilers (that's half the fun).

Remember watching The Dark Crystal for the first time?  JediShua and shazbazzar talk about this strange and somewhat creepy muppet movie from 1982 and agree that it only gets better with repeated viewings!  

This week on TechnoRetro Dads, the anticipation for TR3N grows as Joseph Kosinski reveals some information about the sequel to TRON:Legacy.  We also find out about a remake of Disney's first excursion into science fiction movies, The Black Hole.  Find out where Star Wars in a more primitive form can be seen.  

Apple computers, Atari computers, and the very popular uBanana phone round out a raucous recollection of historical facts and flubs from the 70s and 80s.  

Even if you're not techno, retro, or even a dad, there's something on this episode for everyone who likes stuff.

Enjoy....
