This week, on The Star Wars Show!
Anthony sits down with director, Kyle Newman!
We take a closer look at our Celebration Orlando Live Stream Schedule
And much, much more.
Now from the Lucasfilm Headquarters it’s the Star Wars Show!
Hey I’m Anthony Carboni And I’m Andi Gutierrez, welcome to The Star
Wars Show, the only show on the internet that is crazy enough to shoot a show in San Francisco
today, get on a plane after this, fly to Orlando, and then live stream from Celebration until
Sunday We do it because we love you.
Yeah.
Tomorrow, beginning at 11am eastern, 8am pacific, The Star Wars Show will be streaming, live
from the show floor at Star Wars Celebration in Orlando to bring you the panels, the creators,
and the stars you want to see.
That’s right, and we’re going big with the first panel tomorrow, the 40 Years of
Star Wars, where tons of stars and creators of Star Wars will be on stage sharing their
memories of working on this epic saga as well as lots of huge surprises.
And then 1:30 eastern, 11:30 pacific, Dave Filioni and Pablo Hidalgo present, Animated
Origins and Unexpected Fates, a panel where they’ll discuss the untold origins of heroes
and rogues from Lucasfilm Animation’s past as well as presenting rare clips and artwork.
Friday begins with the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Last Jedi panel where Kathleen
Kennedy and Rian Johnson, along with a few surprise guests, will take the stage to talk
about the next chapter in the Star Wars Saga beginning at 11am eastern, 8 pacific.
After that panel, we’ll be bringing you The Making of Rogue One, where senior members
of the Rogue One creative team take a deep dive into the films inception and execution.
At 3:30pm eastern we’ll be streaming the Heroines of Star Wars panel, where Dave Filoni,
Carrie Beck, Ashley Eckstein, Tiya Sircar discuss the importance of the female characters
in Star Wars, hints at where we may see them next,
Friday will be brought to a close by Mark Hamill and his tribute to Carrie Fisher which

Saturday morning at 11am eastern we’re back at it again with the Star Wars Rebels Season
4 mega panel, where Dave Filloni will peel back the curtain to offer fans a sneak peek
at the newest adventures he has in store for the crew of the Ghost.
At 1:30 we’ll be streaming Anthony Daniels one man show, immediately followed by EA’s
GIGANTIC Battlefront II panel at 2:30 eastern where they will finally reveal the full trailer
for game.
Which, speaking of Battlefront , we here at The Star Wars Show have a little Battlefront
2 snippet to share with you.
If you head to Battlefront2.com right now, which…just went live, and you’ll be treated
to this mysterious teaser image of some sort of logo.
Is the logo trying to tell us something?
Should we read into the shadows and reflections surrounding the logo, is the color of the
logo a giveaway, or are we just reading into this more than we should be because it’s
a teaser image on the internet about Star Wars and that’s the type of things we do
around here?
Well lucky for you more will be revealed tomorrow at Battlefront 2.com, and even more will be
explained during the panel.
On Sunday, we’ll begin our stream with the “These Are Droids You’re Looking for”
panel at 11am where Alan Tudyk, Anthony Daniels, and more take the stage to talk about what
it’s like being a droid caught in a war amongst the stars.
At 1pm eastern we’ll finally hear Mark Hamill speak!
That’s right!
He’s not just going to stare at the audience for an hour.
Or maybe he will.
Who knows!
You’ll have to tune in to find out.
Then the entire weekend comes to an end with the annual Star Wars Celebration Closing Ceremony
panel at 4:00 pm eastern immediately followed by Andi and myself collapsing from exhaustion
into one of these boxes and then an intern taping it up and sending it to San Francisco.
And like we said earlier, the Star Wars Show Live stream, won’t just be panels, but will
be filled with wall-to-wall interviews with your favorite Star Wars actors, creators,
fans, and first looks at anything and everything Star Wars.
Make sure to tune in here, on StarWars.com, our YouTube page, every day beginning at 11am
eastern, 8am pacific.
I am so psyched to be going back to Celebration, Andi!
It’ll be just like when we met back in Anaheim!
It’ll be so much fun.
What a magical time.
It was wonderful.
Speaking of which, you know who we left out of the live stream?
Who?
Our good friend Kyle Newman who will be debuting the third installment of his Smuggler’s
Bounty radio drama at celebration.
How should we remedy that?
How about an interview with Kyle about that panel on our brand new satellite set in Los
Angeles?
Works for me, but how will we get you to Los Angeles?
You have to be in Orlando tomorrow!
Through the power of our imagination!....and Frank’s masterful editing.
Star wipe Frank!!
I’ve got Kyle Newman with me.
Director, producer and creator of the Smuggler series of audio dramas which are coming back
to Celebration this year.
We’re back.
You’re back!
It’s like every two years life goes crazy because you put all of your work aside and
you start focusing on this fun, side Star Wars project.
And they take hundred and hundreds of hours.
It’s a real labor of love for everyone involved.
All the actors, David Collins who plays Han Solo anchors it.
For people who are attending Star Wars Celebration for the first time or who aren’t familiar
with the Smugglers Trilogy, these are series of really, fully produced radio drama shows.
It’s almost like a prairie home companion, where everything is happening on the fly so
with the music or the ambience, foley, an animated crawl and end credits and tracking
every little sound throughout the whole project because we fire off in one take.
There are no re-dos, there are no second takes, and it is just GO.
And thankfully all the actors are pros and they step up there, read the script, wait
for laser fire, wait for Chewbacca and R2 and a music cue and it all somehow just happens.
I don’t really know how it happens; I just kind of sit back and watch it.
But I guess it’s all in the pre work we’re doing now.
And I just finished the script.
Let’s talk a little bit about the script, now you’re making your first of these after
The Force Awakens.
Did it change the kind of story you wanted to tell about Han?
Or the way you wanted to show Han as a character?
I mean we’re really not stepping on that too much, or commenting too much but it is
in the psychology of Han Solo.
I think always in the back of Han’s head, there is a guy who is still capable of running
away from duty or obligation.
This one, what’s great about it is that Katherine Taber, plays a very big role as
Princess Leia.
Very Han, Leia centric which is great.
And it ties in really neatly right up to Empire Strikes Back picks up.
Han and Leia are at each other’s throat, there’s a lot of banter, very witty and
there’s something brewing beneath the surface that we want to touch on.
They want to kill each other but there’s also clearly some tension there.
That’s why he’s such a rich character and I can’t wait for the Han Solo film.
He’s one of those characters that has such a story to tell and life beyond what they
did with the films we have.
It’s exciting.
And if you’re not in Orlando this week, there’s some Kyle Newman to be had.
Sam Wither, we’re working on a very interesting book together about the history of Dungeons
and Dragons.
It’s going to be a pretty big release with Penguin Random House next year and bringing
the same passion we bring to Star Wars to this.
Cool, thank you so much for stopping by Kyle it’s always good to see you man.
It was pleasure.
If you are at Celebration to come see Smuggler’s Revenge on Saturday night and if you’re
not at Celebration, we will be streaming it as we will be streaming all of Star Wars Celebration
so be sure to tune in to that.
I promise you, it is going to be your favorite panel.
If you’re on Space Mountain, you’ve left the convention center, bring it up on your
phone, you’re going to love it I swear.
Best panel to watch during a roller coaster for sure.
Whelp.
The set’s all packed up, and that means only one thing.
That most of this stuff is going to be broken when we get to Florida?
I was going to say that we were too lazy to decorate so we just put a bunch of old boxes
from Amazon on the shelves to create the illusion that we were bringing the set with us to Florida…(which
we’re not) BUT HEY!
At least we got creative with the background.
And on that note!
We have a plane to catch, but before we go, remember you can keep the Star Wars Celebration
conversation going all week long using the official hashtag SWCO.
Or, pound sign sow-co as the more out of touch people in the office have been calling it.
You’re old.
Thanks for watching, and we’ll see you tomorrow in ORLANDO!
You’re not that old.
I mean I knew that it wasn’t a pound sign, swo-co from the beginning because I’m young
and cool.
Yep.
There were some other people, they don’t even know what a fleek is.
And if you’re on it.
Should I be on it?
Yeah.
Am I?
No.
Where are we getting lit?
Oh we’re gonna have to cut that one.
Hello I’m Anthony Carboni, and I’m Andi Gutierrez wearing the world’s ugliest shirt
I actually really like that shirt.
I know it’s my favorite because it’s ugly.
