As soon as Andi gets here…
Sorry mesa doing my hair.
My god, you’re beautiful.
Mesa know.
This week, on The Star Wars Show!
Anthony sits down with Eugene Byrd from Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures!
We meet the Lucasfilm employee that's more than meets the eye.
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 the The
Star Wars Show a show so close to the effects department of The Last Jedi we can hear them
through the vents.
Ooooh!
I wonder what that means?!
It’s Snoke.
Definetly probably Snoke.
Let’s break some more news!
For those of you that cannot stop watching the Battlefront II trailer that debuted during
Star Wars Celebration, you might want to strap in because you are literally 3 days away from
getting a new one.
This Saturday, June 10th, a brand new gameplay trailer for Star Wars Battlefront II will
make its world premiere during the EA Play live show beginning at noon Pacific.
But that’s not all EA and Dice are bringing with them to EA Play.
At 1pm pacific they’ll be hosting an epic 20 v 20 Battlefront II Assault on Theed livestream.
Yup, that’s right, the capital city of Naboo is coming to Battlefront II.
So don’t worry Prequel Defense Force members in the comments!
Your era will be lovingly represented in the game.
For more information about EA Play check out @EAStarWars on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
ILMxLAB revealed a new Virtual Reality demo during Apple’s WWDC Press conference.
The demo, made in conjunction with Epic’s Unreal engine showed off Mustafar and the
ability to create cinematic environments in realtime.
Oh, and then DARTH VADER SHOWED UP.
IN VIRTUAL REALITY.
BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE TOSSING AROUND SHIPS IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE!
Disrespectful.
That’s like the most epic get off my lawn in the history of all time
No further details were revealed outside of the demos existence, but it was just too cool
not to share.
LEGO Star Wars The Freemaker Adventures is returning for season 2 on Saturday June 17th.
The first episode, entitled “ Trouble on Tibalt” airs at 11am eastern with the rest
of the season continuing on Monday July 31st at 7am eastern with new episodes every Monday
through Thursday thereafter though August 16th.
You okay over there?
Sorry I was just trying to map out the programming schedule.
That’s handy.
Cool.
Finally this week, Lucasfilm is a company filled with people making movies, but some
employees actually get to be in movies.
This is one of their stories.
Enjoy.
You're watching the Star Wars Show.
Just put in the embarrassing stuff.
Hi my name is Billy Ray Chubbs.
I am officially the receptionist for Lucasfilm and I’m also a motion capture performer
for ILM.
So a typical day for me here at the office is I put on my headset and I answer calls
for the company but because of my physical stature they asked me to come down on the
mo-cap stage and do a lot of physical stuff.
When a small piece of movement is missing for a character I get called down to fill
in those gaps so I’m the guy that puts on the suit with all the little reflective balls
on it.
I’ve done some things for Hulk in the Avengers, the T-Rex in Jurassic World, Megatron in the
Transformers movies, Orcs in the Warcraft movie, I was Shredder in the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles for a couple of scenes.
I need to write em down there’s too many!
So yeah I've done a lot of stuff down here.
I think that's what brings me the fun part of my job that I get to do.
So I have two credits on IMDB, but the one I’m most proud of was a Holiday Special
for the Star Wars Show where I got to play a non-denominational tree.
Doing all the stuff on the stage, jumping around screaming with the motion capture suit.
Sitting in the theater and seeing it on the big screen just gave me this rush that I can’t
even describe.
I feel like a little kid watching it and sitting there like Oh my god that’s me!
I did have one small part in Revenge of the Sith.
I was a funeral onlooker for Padme’s funeral.
They just put out an email saying if you’d be interested in being one of the funeral
attendees in Episode 3 email us back and they put me in this big blue beautiful robe.
It was shot at a distance and there was like a 100 ILMers all dressed in different costumes.
The only time my job ever becomes a job in the 13 years I’ve been here is while I’m
sitting in traffic.
On my way here or on my way home.
Other than that, this is pretty much the most fun job I’ve ever had.
I think he’s heading for that small moon.
That’s no moon.
Sitting down with me now in the studio is Eugene Byrd from LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker
Adventures.
Zander Freemaker!
Super star here to do an interview guy.
That’s new, I just added that.
You have had an amazing couple of years.
You were working your way into all the fandoms.
Oh yeah, I got to!
And now you’re in the Star Wars universe, how’s that feel man?
It feels crazy.
You never think that you’ll be doing this and you never think you’ll be in this world
its so amazing.
We’re seeing a lot more connection with Freemaker and the larger Star Wars galaxy.
Well yeah because we brought in some people especially for the second season I can’t
say who.
I mean we’ve seen Hera which is huge.
It’s so exciting.
I mean also when you’re in the universe there’s certain things you can’t say and
things you can say after they’ve given you the green light
Ronan is a force builder We can say it!
Listen Carrie Beck isn’t here, Celebration is over, I wasn’t allowed to say certain
things before but yes he’s a Force builder.
Freemaker is wonderful because it has this family dynamic comedy set within the Star
Wars universe.
But I also find it very beautiful because yes, we can introduce these worlds.
We can use characters from the universe but we’re playing and having fun.
How amazing was it to find out that Doug Chiang had drawn your character
The thing is, I was only told and people were like have you seen this yet?
And I was like Oh!
Is that my character?
Yeah that’s Doug Chiang.
What?
What do you mean that’s Doug Chiang, can I keep this?
Did he sign it?
If he didn’t sign it I can’t take it.
I’ll have to lie.
So it didn’t go mini fig to Doug Chiang, it was Doug Chiang to mini fig and I really
wish that we could have our designs.
I want that picture that he did.
Look, like we just said.
It’s Doug Chiang.
I just want the picture.
At some point I want some one to gift me, maybe you Doug Chiang or Carrie Beck, can
you get it for me?
Just get me that picture so that I can hang it on my wall.
And the fact that Matthew Wood works with me too.
Well you guys have an amazing cast, yes we’ve had some amazing people.
John DiMaggio, Blake Griffin played Nareh in our first season.
Dan Snyder, master shake!
This last season was just me keep opening my mouth wider and wider because we just kept
getting these amazing voice actors and these amazing actors that came and lent their voices
so I’m excited.
Well thanks for coming by man, good seeing you.
I appreciate it man, thank you
I’m Bill Motz and I’m Bob Roth and we’re the executive producers of LEGO Star Wars:
The Freemaker Adventures.
We’re holding here in our hands two ships from the show, the Star Scavenger and the
Eclipse Fighter.
We’ve been given a challenge to rip these ships apart and make something brand new just
like the Freemakers.
Let’s make it ugly.
Well I built a ship as ugly as Dengar himself.
I’m going to call it the Scum Seeker.
And I made for Zander a parts grabber, salvage grabber.
It’s a little unstable though, I don’t think I did it quite as well as the Freemakers.
They make it look easy.
We hope you enjoy Season 2 coming out this summer on Disney XD.
As we mentioned at the top of the show, EA Play is this Saturday and while we’ll be
getting tons of new Battlefront II info we asked you last week what some of your favorite
Star Wars GAMZ from the past were.
Chris Baker showed off his epic collection and included a shout out for Yoda Stories.
Big ups to Yoda Stories!
Joey Rosalez broke out his GAMZ collection complete with Super Empire Strikes back…and
uh…*cough* Star Wars Kinect But the clear winner as favorite old Star
Wars game was the original Battlefront II.
Also later this week we’re going to post the extended Eugene Byrd interview where we
talk fan theories, recording voices with Master Shake and why we both love and hate Star Wars
handsome coverboy Sam Witwer.
It’s really fun, you’re going to want to check it out.
Thanks for watching and may the Force be with you.
The problem with Sam Witwer is that he is nice, and fun and handsome.
Can’t stand him.
What a monster.
When we people are good looking and attractive and fun to be around I hate em.
You and Sam Witwer, two garbage people.
I don’t know whether to hug you or punch you.
Hi I’m Anthony Carboni…..
It’s Andi…..Gutierrez.
