This week on the Capes and Tights Podcast, Justin Soderberg welcomes back Fearless Fred to discuss his Mud79 – his fan made Star Wars story that takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Fearless Fred Kennedy is a radio host, actor, and comic book writer. He works for the Toronto radio station 102.1 The Edge. His comic, Dead Romans, with artist Nick Marinkovich, letterer Andrew Thomas and editor Allison O’Toole drops issue six of their series on August 23, 2023.
Mud79 is a fan made Star Wars story that takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Solomon Kwai is one of countless youths from across the galaxy who find themselves in the Imperial Army four years after the Clone Wars and before the rise of The Empire, because the battle is not over. Kwai and the rest of the 79th platoon are stationed on a remote planet in the Outer Rim.
The days are brutal and filled with ever present danger under the Imperial Flag. Tensions rise, and soon there’s blaster fire. Suddenly Kwai and his comrades are embroiled in a bloody conflict, one the Empire cannot afford to lose as they become part of the galactic war machine… will they survive?
Mud79 has been described as Star Wars meets Platoon.
Season one of Mud79 hit podcasting platforms on June 8, 2023 with the second season coming August 24 from Curiouscast, Canada’s fastest growing podcast network from Corus Entertainment.
Fearless Fred first joined the Capes and Tights Podcast for Episode 107 to discuss Dead Romans at Image Comics.
