Today we’re talking about my favorite handsome space boy.
Which one is that?
You use that for anything that you like Poe is my favorite handsome space boy
Well you just spoiled it!
This week on The Star Wars Show!
We go behind the scenes of the Star Wars CASIS mission patch!
Matt Lieb takes on Force Friday II!
And much, much more Now, from the Lucasfilm Headquarters it’s
The Star Wars Show!
Hi I’m Anthony Carboni And I’m Andi Gutierrez, and welcome to The
Star Wars Show, the only Star Wars Show on the internet whose production assistant has
a tattoo of a Porg on their leg.
Now that’s dedication!
Let’s go to the news!
Star Wars Rebels released a new trailer for the fourth and final season of the series
over the weekend.
Are you okay?
I’ll make it.
The space wolf filled trailer gave us a glimpses at Thrawn’s right hand man Rukh, Saw Gerrera
Mon Mothma, Tarkin dropping some Rogue One references, The Empire vaporizing Mandalorians
and space battles with X-WINGS!!!
But I didn’t see a space wolf in an X-Wing.
I’m just saying.
Think about it.
The fourth season of Star Wars Rebels airs on October 16th on Disney XD.
Empire Magazine rolled out some new Star Wars: The Last Jedi covers this week.
The first features Rey and Luke posing back to back looking oh so serious, while the other
is a close up of Rey handing Luke his long lost lightsaber…which also gives us a closer
look at his prosthetic robotic hand.
Also revealed inside the issue is a glimpse of perfect space boy Poe Cameron’s X-Wing
whose call sign is Black One.
The Incom-FrieTek T-70 has been modded with a temporary accelerator pod that allows him
to outrun the First Order…So take that Fast and Furious movies!
Star Wars is also about speed and family.
The issue also contains an additional image of Canto Bight which shows Finn and Rose facing
each other in the middle of a casino filled with fancy looking aliens and creatures like
this cute little space dog!
The October issue of Empire Magazine hits store shelves tomorrow.
The International Space Station National Lab has unveiled its 2017 CASIS Mission Patch,
and wouldn’t you know it, this year it is Star Wars themed.
The patch was art directed by Lucasfilm’s own Doug Chiang, as well as designers from
Every Design The patch itself sits inside the silhouette of the Millennium Falcon, and
features the Death Star, The ISS, as well as Chopper, BB-8, and K2-SO.
In fact, in just a few minutes we’ll take a deeper dive into the creation of the patch
because that’s what we like doing around here.
Star Wars Galactic Nights, an event we both participated in back in April, is returning
to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on December 16th.
The event will offer fans an inside look at the upcoming Star Wars: Galaxy’s edge during
an exclusive one-night-only panel, as well as offering photo-ops, character encounters,
fireworks, Star Wars themed food…and costumes!
Lots and lots of costumes!!
Tickets for the event are on sale now, and if you want more information, check out DisneyWorld.com/GalacticNights
Finally, last Friday was Force Friday II, where a metric ton of new Star Wars products
were revealed.
We’re talking new toys from Sphero like the new BB-9E (or BB-Hate as Rian Johnson
calls it), he’s a mean boy, the massive LEGO Millennium Falcon model with 7,541 bricks,
tons of new books like Phasma and Leia, and Porgs!
SO MANY PORGS!
And because Force Friday II was such a big event, we sent our resident event correspondent
Matt Lieb to check out all the craziness and excitement of Force Friday II in this segment
paid for by Walmart.
You’re watching The Star Wars Show!
Hey everyone, Matt Lieb here.
It’s Force Friday so naturally I’m at Walmart, because Walmart has all the gear
you need to be Jedi ready.
Let’s go check it out.
Oh yes, TIE Silencer.
Look how sharp it looks.
Would you consider yourself Jedi ready?
Maybe not.
Well that’s why we’re here today.
How’s it going R2?
Here we have the littlebits Droid Inventor Kit where you can create your own droid.
Be my friend!
No don’t turn your back on me.
So you built this yourself?
I did.
You’re like Anakin Skywalker.
It’s like having a pet that you don’t have to feed.
This has got Force Link.
You can actually move around the lightsaber.
Turns out the Force is actually just Bluetooth technology.
What kind of toy are you really excited to get?
Probably the figures.
I don’t have the Luke Skywalker or Rey one yet.
Are you independently wealthy or do you have parental units who give you money for things.
Parental unit.
Yeah, same.
What kind of toy are you hoping to get.
The LEGO set, you just looked at your mom like “Please?”
What do you hope to get here today at Walmart?
Are you Jedi ready?
Oooh BB-8!
You can open him up.
Whoa!
Authentic BB-8 sound effects!
I don’t want any of that knock off BB-8 sound.
I’m here with Master David.
You are a Jedi trainer, you teach people the art of wielding a lightsaber.
From a very young age.
It’s 32 young?
Uhhh well?
So we got here the Rey Forces of Destiny doll.
You like Rey?
Yes.
What do you think is in her pack?
Sticks and tools.
Cell phone?
Well, everyone has got to have a cell phone.
Not in the Star Wars world!
Well, we’ve seen a lot of amazing things here at Walmart for Force Friday.
I’m finally Jedi ready and me and this guy.
I think we’re going to be best friends.
C’mon, let’s go Praetorian Guard.
Look he’s heading for that small moon.
That’s no moon.
Growing up I was always a huge fan of science and space.
And if I weren’t in the film business designing for movies I would hopefully be working for
NASA.
There is a long, pronounced history with mission patches.
Both from the aviation industry as well as the aeronautics industry.
Traditionally for NASA related patches, the astronauts themselves have been designing
those patches for years.
But at the ISS National Laboratory we try to collaborate with unique partners to help
develop these patches that are representative of all ISS National Lab research during a
given calendar year.
And who better to collaborate with than Lucasfilm.
In designing the patch, I had to bring in the best designers I could think of and that
was Kelly and Stacy of Every Design Co.
He asked us if we would be interested in working on this project and our eyes were just like,
“Yes!”.
I actually first worked with them on early designs of the Rogue One title.
It was a great opportunity for the 3 of us to work together again.
The first step was to figure out what are the iconic moments or imagery we want to merge
with this space station.
In particular there is this one scene on Tatooine with that beautiful sunset.
We took elements of that and derived our colors for the final piece.
Doug’s creative vision was to try and include some of the droids that have been involved
in the Star Wars franchise in this mission patch.
So the obvious choice was to design it around the new robots like BB-8 and Chopper and K2.
And that is also very symbiotic of the ISS because the ISS is all about enhancing technology.
That captured everything about the space program for me and talked about the future, talked
about the adventure, the longing for the adventure.
Our job as graphic designers is to simplify things and in this challenge we had to take
something that is an entre Star Wars universe and then also the world and blend those two
worlds together.
The final design encompassed the Millennium Falcon, the Death Star and these droids.
The droids look out into this vast space of discovery and exploration.
We thought that that created a wonderment we can relate to by looking out to the stars.
The final design of the patch is a perfect culmination of everything we are trying to
achieve.
This mission patch with Lucasfilm, it really helps to represent a banner year for CASIS
and the ISS National Labs a whole in 2017.
We’ve already had well over 100 experiments launch to the ISS National Lab representing
a married of scientific disciplines.
From life sciences, Earth observation, remote sensing, material sciences, physical sciences,
technology development, STEM and STEAM education, the ISS National Lab is truly a platform for
innovation and to be able to have this collaboration with such recognizable brand is going to bring
that research to the forefront even more so.
I’m Marc.
I’m the author of Star Wars Kiribati, which is part of the Journey to the Last Jedi series.
Kirigami is a little bit like origami except instead of just folding paper, you cut and
fold the paper.
Each project in the book has a different difficulty rating so the X-Wing is a good starting point
if you’re new to Kirigami.
And I brought that template with me today to show you exactly what Kirigami is.
So when you get to the end push everything flat and pop up and that is a Kirigami X-Wing.
And so ends another fun-filled episode of The Star Wars Show.
And like we do every week, or every other week, or on weeks where we need to pad out
the time…make sure you remember to like the video, subscribe to the channel, follow
us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and download the Star Wars App.
And you have to do them all because we can tell if you miss one.
We can feel it and it feels wrong.
There’s like a checklist, I’ll put it online later.
Thanks for watching and as always, may the Force be with you.
It’s like a Princess and the Pea situation but with social networks.
If someone doesn’t subscribe to us I can just can’t sleep.
You’re a sensitive boy.
I really am.
I’m like the Kylo Ren of internet video.
I don’t see anything on that screen.
(laughing).
Pre-retaped.
We are going to mess this up.
