Now from the Lucasfilm Headquarters it’s The Star Wars Show!
Hi, I’m Anthony Carboni.
And I’m Andi Gutierrez and this week we have so much news to cover we aren’t even
going to waste time at the top of the show with an overwrought and unfunny “joke.”
Marvel Star Wars is embarking on an epic 5-issue crossover event entitled, “Screaming Citadel.”
The series begins with a special one-shot issue by Kieron Gillen, and then continues
with Star Wars #31 and Doctor Aphra #7.
The story follows Luke Skywalker reluctantly teaming up with Dr. Aphra as they investigate
an infamous castle on the edge of space known as “The Screaming Citadel.”
And you can check out the crossover for yourself beginning in May.

I’m here with Neal Scanlan, Creature Effects Supervisor and Neal has offered to walk us
through creations here for the film.
One of the really interesting things about this is when we talked to Gareth about this
character; he has this sort of muscle.
He’s a big, strong heavy character, we would joke that if a wookie came across the path
of a wampa one day and had a romantic interlude.
I thought this was a really cool detail, the voicebox illustration here.
It’s actually an iPhone and you can hear the voice of the person who’s puppeteering
his head We talked about this character and he grew
in Gareth’s mind.
We came up with this concept it would be fantastic to be able to vocalize a real important moment
in the battle sequence.
When this character shouts, he opens his mouth, so does Derek, the idea being when you look
down there, you’d see right down Derek’s throat.
This is a new Mon Calamari for Star Wars Rogue One.
This guy has not seen a lot of sunlight it looks like apparently.
No, no.
Tim, you were the original Admiral Ackbar back for Return of the Jedi.
A long time ago, yeah.
And I that one, he had a very limited movement and most of the stuff you see was actually
a muppet style hand puppet.
I just get to stand there now and Mark takes over the whole thing.
It’s a trap!
Right behind me, Nick Kellington is being suited up.
He is getting his head on right now and we’re going to watch him undergo a stills photography
session.
Now it’s your eyes underneath the mask My eyes with contact lenses, with kind of
chimp style contact lenses This area is polarized texture photography.
It just gives you a true color reference and also gives you a nice flat image.
So if they needed to drop him into a CGI scene, I could light him from any direction
This is a 3D scanning system so we got 46 DSLR in here to create and accurate 3D model
Thank you for joining us on the set of Rogue One
Hey guys!
Welcome to the show, rock legend Laura Jane Grace
Thank you so much for joining us, I know you’re on your book tour right now for your new book
Tranny: Confessions of Rock’s Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout.
It’s a mouthful It is, it’s a good title!
It’s unfortunate that all my Star Wars memories were kind of cut out of the book.
I always say in interviews my first memories were of gender dysphoria but really my first
memories were of gender dysphoria and Star Wars.
And really legitimately some of my first memories are when Jedi came out and seeing it at the
movie theaters.
Like the cut outs and promotional material around it
So what would you say it was that drew you to Star Wars?
That really hooked you when you were a kid The idea of waiting for your real, true path
in life to reveal itself to you.
You know, like feeling you don’t belong where you were.
That just made such a severe impression on me and at that age, I played legitimately
with the Star Wars toys.
But then went on later to have them all boxed still and be a serious collector.
Although, like 7/8 years ago I went ahead and just Ebay’d everything I had because
I had too much.
Really?
Wow Which was stupid and I regret it but since
I have a 7 year old I’ve been slowly going back and re-buying everything.
Was there anything that you kept that you held on to
I did!
You know Squid face?
From Jedi, who turns out was Jabba’s accountant.
So this was a toy that terrified me when I was a child so much so that when my dad had
to do a year in Korea, I made him take the toy with him because I was just too scared
of it.
He brought it back and I’ve held on to it still, still has the cape and everything.
But then to all those years later that that was an accountant
Accounts can be really scary though!
Right So you’ve been introducing your daughter
to Star Wars I have, very much so!
I originally showed her the first 3 and then went and saw Force Awakens I made her go back
and we watched the prequels and we watched them all in sequential order again and then
went and saw Force Awakens again for a second time.
Wow!
I think we saw Force Awakens like 5 or 6 times in the theater
Did you find maybe a new appreciation for it since your daughter kind of had a fresh
set of eyes?
Totally, I mean really like she kind of changed me around on the prequels too where I asked
her after watching them like, “Okay, what was your favorite part?”
And she’s like, “Oh, Jar Binks, like hands down”
And it really made me think; okay fine you got that out of that.
It really appealed to you, maybe I’m wrong about Jar Jar.
Maybe there are redeeming qualities about Jar Jar.
That’s fantastic, well thank you so much for coming by
Thank you for having me It was really a pleasure getting to meet you
Nice Cheeze.
Hey Guys I’m out here at the Lake Cunningham Skate Park, the largest skate park in California
here in San Jose.
And I’m going to go talk to Tom Asta and Chris Cole about Star Wars and skateboarding.
You’re hardcore now, you’ve got your Stormtrooper tattoo on your knuckle.
Yeah I wear it pretty proud.
It’s been there for a couple years too.
I remember seeing Star Wars for the first time and I was up in my aunt and uncle’s
area in Woodstock, New York as we were all getting together for the holidays.
And I thought it was super awesome and I always kept that memory.
Then, when I had my own son, I wanted to introduce him to Star Wars and the moment I turned it
on I was immediately hooked again.
Like oh my God, this is incredible.
What do you think it is about Star Wars that kind of like hooks people into the extreme
sports world?
I think that’s just kind of like with everything, not just action sports.
It’s also for the grown up kids that like Star Wars, you like to be a kid on a skateboard
and then here’s the two merging together.
I think both times I’ve tried to skateboard I almost killed myself.
It’s tough!
It helps to have a good amount of positive experience in figuring out the board before
you fall.
Because if you stand on it and slam out of nowhere and don’t know what happened, it’s
like being punched in the dark.
Yeah, you’re not super motivated to keep going
Yeah you’re just like I don’t know how that happened at all, so just no thanks.
Glad I’m not the only one who’s just like, no, not for me.
That was awesome.
Look at that, Andi Gutierrez, Pro Skater!
That’s right, catch me in the X-Games this summer in professional sit boarding…or not
because that’s not a real sport.
For a moment, you had me beliving professional sitbaording was a real sport.
Don’t let your dreams be dreams!
So good.
Yet!
Last week we asked you, to show us your Han Solo collections, using the not so well phrased hashtag Show
Us Your Solo, and turns out, you guys like Han.
Eric Pfeifer had an epic collection, while Katie Stout, Arwen Nicole, and Dylan Yancy
showed off their Han Solo cosplay.
And my good friend Chris from ILM sent me a picture of his awesome DL44 tattoo.
Very impressive.
Plus there was awesome fan art from Paul Bateman, Brian Keohan…and Mia
Steingräber.
