Hello I'm Peter Townley, and I'm Andi Guiterriez, and you're watchgin the Star
Wars Show Live. No, no, we are not live anymore. We're done,
we're done! It was good! It's been a long weekend
Lets go to the news! In case you were living under a rock or just
subscribed to this channel, in which case, Hi welcome I hope you're enjoying the show.
Last week was Star Wars Celebration and there was a metric ton of Star Wars goodness to
enjoy. First and foremost was the Rogue One panel
where the cast and crew came together on stage to share stories and reveal the brand new
teaser poster, the new Jyn Erso Black Series figure and the behind the scenes sizzle reel!
Which all of us here at the Star Wars Show cannot get enough, especially that space monkey.
And now because we love both exclusives and the design of this character we caught up
with Pablo Hidalgo from the Lucasfilm story group to get a little inside information about
our favorite new from Rogue One: the space monkey.
Hey this is Pablo Hidalgo and I'm here at Star Wars Celebration Europe where we are
wrapping up and during this weekend we got to meet a certain Rogue One character and
have I some facts for you! Space monkey's name is Bistan, his species?
The Iakaru. His speciality: door gunner on a U-Wing fighter.
Want to know more? You're gonna have to wait. But that should tide you over.
The next day, our next door neighbor Dave Filoni took the stage to finally reveal the
eagerly anticipated trailer for Season 3 which sent the entire convention center into when
fan favorite character: Grand Admiral Thrawn made his appearance.
I am totally amped on that trailer! The ships, the new planets, the new characters,
Season 3 looks like its going to take Rebels to places I cant even imagine. And we also
learnd that ILM X Lab is partnering with Dark Knight and Blade Trilogy screenwriter David
S. Goyer to create a narrative virtual reality experience starring Darth Vader.
Whats
really exciting after a while of having to be under wraps but to get to come out and
finally reveal the fact that I'm playing Han Solo is so exciting.
Well you come out and you know how big it is but it doesn't really hit you until youre
out there and you see the entire 4,200 people, all the lightsabers in the air. And then whats
really surreal is then having Luke and Leia come out at the end which is pretty crazy.
It means a lot, its extremely exciting. I love the character that I am so thrilled that
I got the opportunity to play. I mean it is such a huge deal and its everywhere. Its so
exciting to get to play a part of that. I'm so thrilled that they're helming his.
Their sensibility and their sense of humor, I think their take on it is going to be very
exciting. Whats really kind of reassuring and exciting
to me is how much it feels like this sort of close nit family of people that are making
this movie. I mean they really feel like everybody is collaborating, everybody kind of has a
toe in everybody else's film and it really feels nice.
The sense you get, the sense that's in the air is this genuine love and excitement . They
have this connection to the actual story and the characters and what the movies are about
that feels so sincere. And you really can feel that. And I feel like that's a cut
above maybe the way it works with other things.
