MORE PORGS!
This week on the Star Wars Show
Anthony sits down with Preacher's Julie Ann Emery
We put on a porg poetry slam
And much, much more!
Now, from the Lucasfilm headquarters, it's The Star Wars Show!
Hi, Im Anthony Carboni
And Im Andi Gutierrez
Welcome to the Star Wars show. A show whose most important segment is in the first minute...
but the best segment is always at the end!
So, what do you call all the stuff in the middle?
"Content" really good content
Well then, to the content!
Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures debuted it's second season this past weekend.
and unlike last year with an episode a week this season you'll get a new episode every Monday
through Thursday up until the season finale two weeks from today on August 16th.
You can watch season 2 of Freemaker on Disney XD and the Disney XD app.
The number one source for Han Solo news, the stars and filmmakers own personal social
media accounts have been releasing tons of behind-the-scenes photos of the film currently in production.
Last week we got a look at cinematographer Bradford young
and Ron Howard pointing at a depressed looking alien on set
While Emilia Clarke celebrated 10 million Instagram followers by posting a video of
Joonas Suotamo in full Chewbacca costume running around to celebrate the momentous achievement.
This follows previous reveals from Ron Howard of
Warwick Davis being part of the film, a hyperspace beam being shot, Chewbacca in
the video village and this mysterious shot of a closet.
What does it all mean?!
I don't know man but we'll find out for sure when the film is released May 25th, 2018.
Finally we asked you for your porg poetry and boy, oh, boy did we get a
lot of entries which is why we here at the Star Wars show are pleased to
present to you our first ever porg poetry slam
Enjoy!
It sees through your lies. No matter what form of proof.
Look deep within its eyes. The Porgullet will know the truth.
Can't wait to see what the porgs can do.
Too bad they weren't around to save Mace Windu.
I got bit by a porg, and it was dope.
Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, You are my only hope.
Porgs!
Look at him, he's heading for that small moon
That's no moon.
So excited to have in the studio, now she was Betsy Kettleman in Better Call Saul she's in
Fargo and now she is in Preacher, as one of my favorite characters from the
comics. Featherstone!
Featherstone.
Juliette Emery, so much for coming by.
I am completely geeking out to be here I'm a little overstimulated.
It's a common thread that's a common thread
Yeah, I'm a little, you know, I'm a little hyped up.
What was your first Star Wars experience?
When Empire Strikes Back came out
my mom saved enough money and took us to Empire Strikes Back
even though she was not a sci-fi fan
and my brother and I, our little minds were just completely
blown, we were really enamored.
What hooked you?
A couple of things hooked me
about the original VHS, so we saw it on VHS before Empire came out
and the base thing was I was girl but I was a tomboy
and Carrie Fisher, she looked at the boys
and said you're dumb you're gonna get us killed give me that blaster
and she fired back and she was actionary. I wanted to be Han Solo but I really dug
Carrie Fisher, I really dug Princess Leia.
Literally everybody wants to be Han Solo.
Yes, totally!
I don't think there's anybody that doesn't.
Totally! but it was she was the first princess
that didn't wait for someone to save her and she was
large and in charge and I was immediately hooked.
I feel like that sort of informs the characters
that you play now and the choices you make and what you like to play.
That's interesting because when I started thinking about becoming an actress
I didn't want to be an actress. I want to be an actor. I didn't want to play the
girl parts that were coming across my desk, right? I wanted to play all the guy parts.
When I saw Force Awakens, I thought Rey is everything I was desperate to see
when I was a little girl now we're finally moving into a moment where
we have some really strong awesome female characters play.
You were telling me that you are a big reader of the novels as well.
Yeah, my husband and I do a lot of
cross country travel and we do a lot of road trips and camping and we always
listen to the audiobooks. So not only am I a reader of the novels
but I like Mark Thompson
I mean like we have our favorite readers we have our favorite series.
What's your favorite series right now?
The legend era, I like when they get into the Yuuzhan Vong.
yeah
It's really fascinating everything is
organic and their ships and their weapons and everything. Some of what
they're doing I totally get it's very interesting.
You see where they're coming from.
I see where they're coming from, yeah. They think it's heresy to have like an
entire planet just covered in buildings and they think everything should kind of
grow and come from nature.
I love it and so the the new season of Preacher is airing now.
When can we watch it?
Monday nights on AMC.
So excited to watch it
Julia, thank you so much for coming by!
Oh my God, thank you so much for having me here.
I am going to go take pictures for two hours now.
Daniel Drake from Dan Cakes just made us the most beauteous pancake in the world!
Some more Jar Jars. All the Jar Jar pancakes.
I think it's probably all I'm going to make, I mean, now that we've done this.
I mean he's my favorite Disney Princess
"How rude!" (Jar Jar)
Oh, if you thought we were done talking about the porg, you were wrong.
Dead wrong!
In fact, we not only got tons of great porg poems
we got tons of great porks fan art as well.
Yeah Heath Williams went all out creating the cover
to Rian Johnson's future bestsellers.
One Porg, Two Porg, Red Porg, Blue Porg
and Where to Ahch-To Cliff Ends
As well as Edgar Allen Porg
Which was a special request from me.
Jeremy made the album cover for "Meet the Porgs"
Featuring the hit single "I Want to Hold Your Porg"
Jack Ford created an epic porg poem in the shape of a porg
and Bo Sanders created
a poster for the beloved musical "Porg and Bess"
Everyone who submitted this week was awesome
we loved all of them
Thanks for watching and May the Porg Be With You
Yeah, you did it.
How was I not going to do it?!
Yeah
Special note for everybody who said they would trade me their firstborn for a porg
I do not have that power
or the desire to make that happen
I got a lot of those
Really?
It was unsettling!
That's weird!
Yeah
I mean I'd rather have a porg than a kid
Sure!
