This week we’re tickling wookiees!
[Wookiee laughing sound]
That sounds so wrong.
And we’re sitting down with the voice of Sabine, Tiya Sircar.
Sounds wrong, feels right.
This is The Star Wars Show!
From the Lucasfilm headquarters in San Francisco, here’s your hosts Andi and Anthony!
Hello and welcome to yet another thrilling 8-10 minutes of non-stop Star Wars action!
Oh, we’re thrilling now?
How thrilling are we?
Are we like X-Wing trench run thrilling, like podrace thrilling?
Are we Rey and Kylo Ren teaming up thrilling?
Better.
Galactic Senate thrilling.
That’s actually not very thrilling.
It was when Yoda and Sideous wrecked shop!
He threw a pod, it was super cool!
Fair enough.
Let’s see what’s in the news this week.
You go like this.
Gotta get the spin on it, wooosh!
Star Wars: The Last Jedi may still be in theaters but that doesn’t mean we cannot talk about
the upcoming release of the home version.
First available on Digital in HD and 4K Ultra HD on March 13, with the Bluray 4k UHD, standard
Blu Ray, and on demand versions following on March 27, which will be packed with extras.
We’re talking 14 deleted scenes, commentary with Rian Johnson, detailed scene breakdowns,
a behind the scenes documentary about the making of the film, and much, much more.

And speaking of The Last Jedi, you remember that part in The Last Jedi when Maz was like
face-timing in from a battle and she’s flying all over the place on her jetpack?
That was pretty cool.
It was really cool and now you can have a similar experience
thanks to a new patch coming to Battlefront II.
Released on Monday, the patch brings a slew of new items, fixes and features, primary
amongst them is the new game mode, Jetpack Cargo.
The limited time game mode pits two teams of rocket troopers against each other while
trying to deliver cargo to the opposing team’s base.
Plus, three new hero appearances are being added for a limited time: Hoth Luke, Leia, and Han.
For more information on the patch, including the list of balance tweaks, bug fixes, and
how to unlock the new hero appearances check out Battlefront2.com.
Finally, this week a bunch of new books were announced that tie into Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Starting with Star Wars: Last Shot by Daniel Jose Older, the book spans decades beginning
before Han met Lando, and leading to the time after the destruction of the Empire.
Star Wars: Most Wanted by Rae Carson tells an early adventure of Han and Qi’ra on the
streets of Corellia caught in the middle of a job gone wrong.
In comics, Marvel has a 5 issue mini series coming called Lando: Double or Nothing that
follows the “smuggler of smooth” on a mission to free people enslaved by the Empire.
While Star Wars Adventures has a two parter about Han, Chewie and the hijinks that ensue
when Zukkus and 4-Lom are hot on their tails.
And it wouldn’t be a Star Wars movie if there wasn’t an official guide written by
our good friend and Lucasfilm Story Group member Pablo Hidalgo.
Plus, lots and lots of tween and kids books too.

I love toys!
That’s why I’m excited to be here at New York Toy Fair to take a look at all the Star Wars
toys that I’ll be playing with over the course of the next year.
Let’s check it out!
Well last year we introduced you to the Star Wars plastic model vehicles.
This year we have the Millennium Falcon 172nd kit.
The designer took over 10,000 photos from the Lucasfilm archive to develop it.
One of the other big things that we’re introducing this year, the action figure model kits.
And their all fully pose-able, fully articulated, just like a traditional action figure.
So everyone knows you for your Pop! figures,
you also have Loungefly as a part of your family, is that right?
That’s correct!
We have some of their newest product that’s been developed since they joined the Funko family.
Things like this tattoo inspired Leia bag here.
We got some new announcements going here.
We got super slick Lando Calrission.
We have Qi’ra and also we announced today Woody Harrelson’s Beckett character.
We had really great success with our photo-real technique.
Clear indication, it’s back!
Here’s our 2018 kind of look.
We’ve got Last Jedi, we’ve got our new Han Solo, and the new Mimban stormtrooper,
we also have Doctor Aphra.
A great mixture of characters.
Help me take this mask off.
We worked with our team at the FurReal brand to bring Chewbacca to life.
[Chewbacca roar]
That is only two out of over 100 sounds and expressions that Ultimate Co-pilot Chewie
will make when he’s available this Fall.
This is Jabba’s Sail Barge, it’s over 4 feet long.
Everyone has seen the deck and the sails and even Jabba’s lounge.
But they’ve never seen the prison cell with a decomposing Ithorian down in there.
They’ve never seen the galley where Jabba gets all his frogy delights.
It’s truly a dream item and that’s what HasLab is all about.
We are looking to get 5,000 backers.
Once we get those backers, we go into production.
We’re really excited to unveil all the LEGO Star Wars sets inspired by Han Solo.
Starting with the Millennium Falcon.
At the show today we’ve had a lot of enthusiasm over it.
But it’s not just Solo, it’s Clone Wars, Force Awakens, and even the Empire Strikes Back.
And that’s a wrap from New York toy Fair, where I have more important things to do.
The captain says you’re a friend.
I will not kill you.
Check is out, Tiya Sircar is here with me.
I’ve talked to you so much on Rebels Recon but I finally get to talk to you on The Star Wars Show!
I’m so happy to be here.
I’m so excited.
Thanks for having me.
Rebels has been such a journey and it’s coming to a really epic conclusion soon.
Yeah.
Not to like out you but you weren’t a huge Star Wars fan before you got started.
You can out me.
I feel like I have been pretty straight up, you know, because I never wanted to pose as
something that I wasn’t.
So I’ve always wanted to be as transparent as possible.
I’m not like Freddie who is the Encyclopedia on all things Star Wars.
But there is something that is actually kind of a benefit in coming clean like that.
I agree!
I had just enough foundational knowledge to then build on that once I was in it.
And I mean, look, my teacher was Dave Filoni.
Like, are you kidding?
And the homework is really fun.
And the homework is Star Wars!
It’s like best homework ever.
So I have no qualms in admitting I wasn’t like the most knowledgeable Star Wars fan
but I was a fan.
And to also then get to be apart of the story telling is still a little crazy to me but
it makes it even more special.
People’s relationship with Sabine has grown so much in the past.
She went from being a person that no one really knew anything about to like the one who I
think people’s investment in her history is probably at the highest point of anyone in the cast.
Oh wow.
Maybe it’s because we didn’t know anything about her, maybe she…
And she’s mandolorian, that’s just cool.
That helps.
That’s cool.
[Laughing]
That helps.
I realize that no, she does mature and has come so far and she has learned so much.
Not just from the familial dynamics but also learning from her Ghost crew family.
Those are the people that she learned from the most cause those are her most formative
years, she spent with them.
It was always really fun when we got to go down and watch you guys record and see how
the group all works together.
We are supremely lucky that Disney and Lucasfilm made it a priority for us to record together.
I think a big part of why this show is so special, not just to me, I’ll go ahead and
speak for everyone, but for all of us involved is that it’s not just the material and it’s
not just the character but it’s so much about the experience of making the show together.
Right.
If that makes any sense.
And as the show’s progressed the stakes have gotten higher.
How do you think people are going to react to the finale here?
I don’t want Rebels to end.
People have a lot of ideas, a lot of theories about who’s who and what’s going to happen.
I probably talked to you about this before but do you know that now
my mom is now Star Wars #1 fan?
No, tell me about this.
Once I got to be apart of Star Wars Rebels she like full throttle, like down the rabbit hole.
She’s like on every chat room forum.
She’s like a fanatic now!
Wow!
She calls me and says like, “I don’t know if you know this but this” and I’m like,
“I’m on the show like what are you talking…”
She called me after season 2 and was like, “pretty sure Sabine is gonna die.
That’s what everybody’s saying”.
And I was like, "Mom!"
First of all, I would hope I would know the answer and two, what the heck.
You know, that they are talking about means they care.
Totally!
And I’m right there with you for any of you who are feeling sad that our story is ending.
But I feel so pleased with how we’re ending the story.
I’ve said that each season gets better and bigger and more spectacular than the last
and I truly feel like the last half of season 4 is like on another level.
And who knows, if there will be more stories for Sabine to tell, if I’ll get to be apart of that.
I feel sad that this chapter is coming to an end but there are so many possibilities
for the future that there’s like a glimmer of hope that I’ll get to meet Sabine again in some capacity.
Last week we asked you for your opinion on who would make an amazing President from the
Star Wars galaxy and YOU HAD SOME THOUGHTS!
Definitely some thoughts.
Our friend Star Wars Explained chose Biggs Darklighter because he’s a war hero, has
a firm handshake, impeccable fashion sense, and most importantly of all, a great mustache.
Great mustache is most of what you need in life.
Mhmm
@CallMePatPat votes for Orson Krennic based on his success as a long term project manager,
his experience as a garrison deployer, and his closeness to providing peace and security
to the galaxy while being on the verge of greatness.
I don’t know about Krennic but I already know who his campaign manager is.
That was some good spin.
Technically not wrong?
[Laughing] Not wrong.
David Frotchki chose Fodesinbeed Annodue for obvious bi-partisan reasons, Dante Demille
picked Constable Zuvio because he works hard and sticks to the background, and Ian Perkins
went with Kit Fisto because of his negotiation skills, tactics, and award winning smile.
Nobody can run against Kit Fisto’s smile, right Kyle?
[Off camera] KAAAY
And as always, remember to like the video, subscribe to the channel, talk to us in the
community tab on YouTube, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and download the Star Wars app.
Thanks for watching and may the Force be with you.
[Off camera] KAAY
Lando: Double or Nothing that follows the “smuggler off smooth”.
off smooth?
He is the smuggler of smooth.
Oh, ya.
It’s wonderful.
I love this Lando so much.
He wears a lot of capes.
