Orlando, Florida Apr 29, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Tatooine Sons: A Star Wars Podcast is an intergenerational conversation about life, values and character through the lens of Star Wars, hosted by David Jesse and his two sons, Sam (18) and Nathan (14). The audio podcast launched in December of 2017 and has attracted a passionate following of listeners after Nathan asked Rian Johnson, writer/director of The Last Jedi, a question that eventually changed Star Wars history (SEE VIDEO HERE). Now, Tatooine Sons are excited to announce a partnership with Facebook to produce 10 video episodes of their immensely popular show, to be distributed weekly on the Facebook Watch platform beginning May 4, 2020 - the unofficial “Star Wars Day.”
Facebook Watch is a place to discover and enjoy video on Facebook. Facebook’s goal is to incubate the video ecosystem by working with partners like Tatooine Sons to build a predictable programming calendar. Facebook enables and gives partners the freedom to experiment and flex in the ways they know best. Home to a wide range of video – from scripted comedy and drama to competition and reality series, to individual creators and live sports – Facebook Watch is a destination where content, community and conversation come together. This is a personalized viewing experience, where viewers can discover new content based on what their friends are watching, and catch up on the shows they follow. Facebook Watch is available for free on mobile apps across Apple and Android, on the desktop, laptop and on TV apps listed HERE.
Tatooine Sons: A Star Wars Podcast produces a weekly show that addresses the latest in Star Wars news, rumors, and speculation in a family-friendly, positive manner. The show is most widely known throughout the Star Wars fan community for the #MakeTerbusCanon campaign - which resulted in the porg named by Nathan to be featured in the all-ages comic book series Star Wars Adventures, Issues 27-29 (October - December 2019).
“Sam, Nathan and I are thrilled to be partnering with Facebook to create exclusive, uniquely community-oriented content for Facebook Watch that drives meaningful conversations about something that we love so much - Star Wars. As a dad, I’ve been using a ‘galaxy far, far away’ to teach Sam and Nathan about hope, justice, redemption and other life-lessons for years. When we started Tatooine Sons, it was natural for those “dad moments” to find their way into the show. And we’re honored that parents, grandparents and other adults are listening to our show and sharing those lessons with the kids in their lives. Now, through the Facebook Watch platform, our fans can join the conversation by viewing along with others, interacting within our Facebook page and group, and even connecting directly with us on a daily basis,” said David Jesse, the host and founder of Tatooine Sons
On May 4, 2020, Tatooine Sons are officially launching their Facebook Watch series with a LIVE event commemorating the unofficial “Star Wars Day,” (also known as “May the 4th Be With you”) beginning at 8pm ET / 5pm PT. Topics for this LIVE broadcast will focus on the series finale of the animated series, The Clone Wars, the launch of the new behind the scenes documentary series on Disney+, Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, along with a discussion about the latest Star Wars news. Following this LIVE event, the series will be released in a video on demand (VOD) format on Facebook Watch each Monday at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT.
