Hello I’m Anthony Carboni And I’m Andi Gutierrez, welcome to The Star
Wars Show, the only show on the internet that lost an Emmy to a former guest on the show.
Oh the irony!!
Taking your picture off the the wall, Trevor.
But congrats to the winners, and with that, lets go to the news.
Star Wars Episode 9 officially has a new director attached.
JJ Abrams is officially returning to direct Star Wars Episode IX, as well as co-write
the film with Chris Terrio, with Kathleen Kennedy, Michele Rejwan, Abrahms, Bad Robot,
and Lucasfilm producing.
Regarding the hiring of Abrhams, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy said, “With the
Force Awakens, JJ delivered everything we could have possibly hoped for, and I am so
excited that he is coming back to close out this trilogy.”
Star Wars Episode IX is scheduled for release in 2019.
Canto Bight, a new novella that’s part of the Journey to Star Wars The Last Jedi series
of books has just been announced.
The book has 4 different short stories that dive into the glamorous and mysterious lives
of the inhabitants of the casino city, including tales from Mira Grant, Rae Carson, Saladin
Ahmed, and John Jackson Miller.
The alien filled book will hit store shelves later this fall, and for more information
about Canto Bight, including statements from the authors about their short stories, check

So many cuties.
So many stories.
And speaking of aliens from Star Wars The Last Jedi, director Rian Johnson revealed
this week during a Japanese press event that Joseph Gordon Levitt will have a cameo in
the film as the voice of one of the aliens.
Which is my dream job.
Rian Johnson, who has previously worked with JGL on his films Brick and Looper said, “it’s
a brief little thing, but it’s fun.”
So keep your ears peeled for that!
And finally, in Twitter spoiler but not spoiler but might be a spoiler if you consider any
image of anything a spoiler news, Ron Howard, the #1 source of Untitled Han Solo movie news
was back at it again.
Beginning last week with an image of some sort of action scene from the monitors on
set, as well as an image of a futuristic steering wheel and gloved hands.

You know what Andi, no we’re not done.
I’m still thinking of all those cuties on Canto Bight.
You’re really on one today.
I don’t know enough about these cuties, Andi.
Come on!
Okay.
We’re the only ones that can find out!
You're watching The Star Wars Show!
Hello Matt.
Anthony, I told you.
I don’t know if 100 Porg sized Bendus could beat up a Bendu sized Porg.
Oh you absolutely do.
But we’re gonna put a pin in that for right now.
Who is this little sweetie.
You know not everyone in Star Wars has a name and novel and backstory right?
Oh come on!
Look at this little cuite!
Probably has a rich tapestry of a backstory.
I bet it lives on that table.
Probably sleeps under a cutie little cocktail napkin.
And when it wakes up in the morning, it drinks a little dew drop out of a little space thimble.
What’s the difference between a regular thimble and a space thimble?
Stop deflecting, Matt.
Is he a Zilkin?
Is he Gascon undercover?
I’ve had enough, you guys gotta go.
Do it.
Fine Matt.
But the people deserve information about this cutie.
That’s my chair.
Charis are for people who cooperate, Matt.
Hey guys, check the subReddit.
Somebody leaked Space Thimbles.
Seriously I can’t believe you ate the whole thing, the whole, how can you fit all of that
in your mouth!
Oh hello!
It’s me Dana Snyder!
The voice of Graballa the Hutt in LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures.
Today’s dramatic reading, comes from Attack of the Clones in a very ribbled scene between
Anakin and Padme.
“I don't like sand.
It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
Not like here.
Here everything is soft and smooth.”
Look I think he’s heading for that small moon!
That’s no moon.
This week we are joined on the couch by rising star in the NASCAR circuit who just so happens
to be a massive Star Wars fan.
Ryan Blaney, welcome.
Yeah thanks for having me, it’s been nice to see everything today.
So how did your fandom for Star Wars get started?
I saw Phantom Menace because it came out in 1999 and I was born in 93 so I was at the
age kind of where your mind is developing still so you’re interested in trying to
figure out what you like and stuff.
One of the biggest reasons I like it too personally is because I think it has one of the best
lightsaber battle scenes in it.
I’m a big Darth Maul fan.
Yeah totally, Duel of the Fates is awesome.
Best music, great choreography.
Yeah I thought that was cool, that’s what kind of drew me in.
In my mind, racecar drivers on earth are like the star fighter pilots doing the trench run
and dogfighting.
Do you see yourself more as a starfighter pilot or as a podracer?
Uhh I think the podracer,just because that movie is what I grew up watching.
I always end up asking people what they’re favorite movie is and I don’t hear Episode
I very often.
I like Episode I quite a bit.
My top three would have to be 1 and then Empire and then Rogue One.
Rogue One is so good.
I recently saw a video you did where you recapped all 7 Star Wars saga movies in 2 minutes.
But you didn’t do Rogue One.
No I didn’t I didn’t want to do Rogue One, I just did the 7.
Well, I want to do Rogue One.
Okay, give me your recap of Rogue One as fast as you can.
As fast as I can?
Yeah, I mean…
Ready, go.
So Rogue One.
The Universe, the galaxy is in a weird state right now.
Something is getting built, not a lot of people sure what it is but we all know that it’s
going to be bad.
And there’s plans, that we’re trying to get.
Well not we, that they’re trying to get to to try and destroy this thing.
So they pretty much hire a bunch of mercenaries pretty much…to try and steal these plans
anyway they steal them which is great.
And then it’s all about trying to get them to Leia and a lot of people die.
Sorry, spoiler alert , a lot of folks die anyways I’m gonna get to my favorite scene…Vader
comes and just destroys dudes.
Chops them in half, Force chokes them.
I think that was a decent jist of it.
Yeah, that was uh…you know, the cliff notes version.
You hit the major points.
Yeah there’s plans and they’re trying to get to.
Sure, yeah.
You know I have a podcast right?
No!
I do now.
It’s called Glass Case of Emotion.
Okay.
It’s based off of one of my favorite movies, Anchorman.
But yeah we have a podcast we do every week to talk about all things racing and Star Wars
gets brought up most of the time.
So yeah maybe you can come on or call in!
Yeah awesome well thank you so much for coming by, it was really fun showing you around and
getting to talk Star Wars.
I’m gonna take this too by the way.
No that’s mine.
(music)
