If you guys follow me through here, this is pretty interesting, right here is a replica
of Yoda, and over here is a replica of C-3PO.
As we continue down the hallway…
Do you know in the movie, was there a guy in that suit or was it an actual robot?
I don’t know. I heard rumors but…I guess I don’t know.
You’re really, um, really quite a handsome chap aren’t you? Yeah. Gorgeous!
Stunning!
Beautiful.
Exquisite! Ravishing!
Splendiferous! Are you talking about me or you?
Me. Me, you?
You, me. Who?!
US!
GORGEOUS!
This week on The Star Wars Show! Peter sits down with comedian, Nick Swardson!
EA Play and the future of Star Wars games! And much, much more.
Now from the Lucasfilm Headquarters, it’s The Star Wars Show!
Hello I’m Peter Townley. And I’m Andi Gutierrez, welcome to The Star
Wars Show and we have so much to talk about this week that we simply don’t have time
to reference the episode number and the film it coincides with.
Ewoks. We did it! Yeah! News Break!
Once again, it is new comic book day, and that means Marvel’s Han Solo #1 is sitting
comfortably on store shelves. **HAN!**
Lando says, “Han.” The comic, written by Marjorie Liu with art
by Mark Brooks chronicles one of the smuggler's adventures post A New Hope before Empire,
wherein spoilers, Han’s gruff ne’er do well facade is shattered by his inevitable
heroic acts. In Star Wars television news, LEGO Star Wars:
The Freemaker Adventures debuted a brand new trailer this week.
The new animated series premiers June 20th on Disney XD, but if you want to check out
the trailer in its entirety head to this handy little link after the show.
Anthony Daniels, who you saw at the top of the episode, will be appearing once again
this summer at Star Wars Celebration Europe. The heart and soul of C3PO will be performing
in a one man show, technically a two man show since he’ll be joined by main stage host,
Warwick Davis to tell stories, perform skits, and answer questions from the audience.
C-3PO also says Han, and he’s a linguistics expert so he ought to know…
E3 is currently underway in Los Angeles and there was a lot of Star Wars news to unpack.
On Sunday, during the EA Play press conference, we were given a behind the scenes look at
the work currently being done on the next installment of Battlefront from Dice and Motive
Studios due out in 2017. Also confirmed, elements from The Force Awakens
will be included in the next Battlefront installment and we also got a brief glimpse at the motion
capture work being done for Respawn’s still untitled Star Wars game.
Not to mention the first ever blink and you’ll miss it footage of Amy Hennig’s Star Wars
title from Visceral due in 2018. And that was just during EA Play.
The next day during the Sony presser we got our first look at the upcoming VR DLC for
Star Wars Battlefront, X-Wing VR Mission, I get really excited everytime I say X-wing
VR mission. I know.
And the announcement that the demo for LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens is available right
now for PS4 and Xbox One. We got a chance to catch up with Jade Raymond,
General Manager of Motive Studios at EA Play to talk more about the future of Star Wars
and gaming. Check it out.
Hey everybody, David Collins here. I’m in Downtown Los Angeles at the first ever EA
Play event. Now we’re going to go inside and get a quick peek at everything EA has
in store for their Star Wars video games. Welcome to EA Play!
We have teams across the world creating a wide range of Star Wars games.
We just got out of the press conference and we saw that amazing video. You’ve got Visceral,
you’ve got Respawn, you’ve got Motive Studios, you’ve got EA Dice, how excited
are you about this tremendous lineup of games that we have coming in the future?
Oh my god it’s a dream come true. The teams are already doing some incredible stuff. Motive
is working on a big new part of what the next Battlefront is going to be and you know, we’ve
been really been listening to what players have been asking.
Amy Hennig and what she’s got going on at Visceral, now that just looks incredibly exciting,
and how about Stig Asmussen and everything they have going on at Respawn, that is another
just amazing world-class studio working on Star Wars.
Both him and Amy Hennig are working on third-person action-adventure games. The way they’re
coming at it, the eras they’re dealing with, it’s just going to really appeal to totally
different fans. Star Wars is probably the biggest franchise on the planet. That’s
why you can have so many different teams working at it and just making completely different
games. I don’t know if you’re more excited and
anxious to talk about everything you’re working on at EA or if I’m just excited
to try and get that information out of you. Congratulations on everything you’re doing
with Star Wars. What an incredible experience I can’t wait
to play all of the games that EA has to offer.
Welcome back everyone. Star Wars Show is really, really excited to welcome, screenwriter, actor,
comedian, Nick Swardson! (clapping)
You may remember him from Reno 911, from his many collaborations with Happy Madison. Nick,
thanks for being on the show, man. Let’s not forget about Bucky Larson.
Bucky Larson: Born to be a star! Zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
Try that, Hollywood! (laughter)
Great. So, yes, thank you for having me.
So this is your first time over at Lucasfilm? Yes.
Yeah, and you got the tour? Yeah it was awesome man.
Yeah! Very cool!
Yeah. I saw that um, you guys had a hand in Cheaper
by the Dozen 2. Which I was- (clapping)
-yeah, that was pretty mind blowing. That must’ve been, uh, that must’ve taken a
decade or so to get those effects down right. It was almost like, like overload walking
around because it was just you want a picture every 5 seconds. ‘Cause there’s just so
many photo ops and so many different like, you know, Boba Fett, and its like how do you
not take a picture of Boba Fett. Then there’s a stormtrooper. Then there’s a RAPTOR! And
its just, my instagram, everything is just going to explode.
You were very excited for Force Awakens, were you into it?
Yeah, I thought it was awesome. I really, really, really, really, really, liked it.
Um, people hyped it up a lot. I didn’t, I didn’t see it right away because I was
on the road. MmmHmm.
But uh, you know, people were like, “OH MY GOSH!” and I was like, “Alright. Alright
let me give it a taste.” It was weird like, seeing you know this new
vision of it, and then having, you know, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher and just seeing like,
you know, the old school peeps. Chewbacca still looks good. He kept it up, man.
He’s been working out. Were there any characters that you connected
with when you were a kid. I always loved the, the, the creatures. I
always gravitated towards, you know, the people at the bar in Star Wars. I always just loved
those characters. You know, even when I was a kid with the action figures and everything,
like those were my favorite. You know the band with the “hoot hoot, hooodeedoooldlehoo.
Hoooh looo looo.” That’s exactly how that goes.
I think I’ve got it now It’s uncanny!
No, I was always kind of a runt. So I always liked Salacious Crumb. I used to laugh like
him when I was a kid. I’d be like, “EHHEHEHE!" [Salacious Crumb Laughing]
I loved Jedi. I mean, you know, like, that
was one of my favorites. I mean, Empire is my favorite. But Jedi was, I was a big fan
of Bib Fortuna. There we go, the man right there.
Look at that, right there. That’s awesome. You gotta love Bib. So switching gears, are
you still able to do a lot of stand up or is doing film and writing taking up most of
your time Um I kinda just juggle all of it. I’ve got
a show with Comedy Central called Typical Rick. So it’s kinda like, I’m trying to
juggle as much as I can. Uh, which is a little intense, because I want to see the sights
of San Francisco. Okay? Maybe I want to go to Alcatraz. Maybe I don’t want to work
on my show. Yeah. Maybe I want to see the Wharf.
(laughter) So but yeah, we have a new movie called The
Do-Over, with me and Sandler, Spade, Michael Chicklas, Paula Patton, Katherine Hahn, really
awesome, really awesome movie. We’ve seen it and it is awesome. Nick, thanks
so much for being on the show. Thanks for having me
I really appreciate it. Nick Swardson check him out in The Do-Over
streaming on Netflix right now.
So last week you crossed Fett and you lived to tell the tale.
I can’t have opinions?! And besides, if you read the comments a lot of people agreed
with me. Oooooh! Ssss!
But we did manage to get some pretty killer collections in the process, like Rich Cutter
who has over 100 Fetts and counting, or Scott Casanova whose collection outgrew his home
office had to move it into his work office. Matt Booker showed us his collection of over
5,000 Boba’s while Tordue Geniale took her Fett fandom to her Fiat. And I am so sorry
I just totally messed up your name. I think it’s Sullustian, she’s used to it.
Well, we’re going with a far less controversial
ask this week, because we want to know what your favorite Star Wars video game of all
time is. Republic Commando off the top of my head!
I’d have to say Pod Racer or Shadows of the Empire.
Oh Pod Racer is so good! It’s where I started
