John Williams is back for The Last Jedi and we made out social media guy run 13.1 miles.
And a 10K!
Because Star Wars.
Always because Star Wars.
This week on the Star Wars Show!
Anthony sits down with Star Wars Celebration artist Paul Shipper!
We run the Dark Side Half Marathon and much, much more.
Now from the Lucasfilm Headquarters it’s the Star Wars Show!
Hey I’m Anthony Carboni And I’m Andi Gutierrez welcoming you to
the 1st birthday party for The Star Wars Show.
That’s enough celebrating for now, let’s go to the news.
In case you were taking a sabbatical from the internet and or pop culture in general
last Thursday you missed out on Star Wars day.
Shame But as weekly internet shows such as this
do, we’ve gone ahead and rounded up all of the cool Star Wars related things that
may have passed you by.
Such as this video from Star Wars the Last Jedi writer and director, Rian Johnson in
a recording studio with John Williams, confirming that yes, John Williams is back and is already
working on scoring the film.
The kind of good slash kind of bad archeologist, Doctor Aphra won Hasbro’s fan vote on Star
Wars.com and will be joining the Star Wars Vintage collection as a 3.75 inch action figure.
That I’m sure had nothing to do with the hundreds of tabs I had open voting and re-voting
for Amphora because I would never do that I’m an employee of Lucasfilm.
That would be illegal and against the rules.
Celebrities got into the spirit of the day like, Lin-Manuel Miranda posting a series
of Star Wars selfish with James Earl Jones, Riz Ahmed, and Harrison Ford.
Jacob Tremblay posted a photo of of Natalie Portman embracing him, accented with a Star
Wars app sticker of Padme, and Samuel Jackson posted a photo of his prop lightsaber from
the prequels.
Canadian Prime Minster and star wars super fan Justin Trudeau showing off his C3PO and
R2D2 socks.
Which, Justin, we’re on a first name basis now, if you’re watching this, and I’m
sure you are because we’re a very important news show, next time you’re in San Francisco,
stop by and hang out.
We have more novelty Star Wars socks for you.
Finally this week, Star Wars Force Arena recently added 2 new versions of Luke Skywalker and
Darth Vader to the game, however they’re not like the typical Luke and Vader you’re
used to.
They’re actually inspired by the classic concept art for the characters.
So that means Vader is more angry looking and has a blue lightsaber and Luke is really
into purple and scuba masks for some reason.
We’ve all been there; we’ve all gone through that phase.
Yeah it wasn’t cute on you though.
Wow I thought you liked it.
But hurry!
The 40th Anniversary update is only available for one more week.
For more details check out StarWarsForceArena.com.
Was it the purple, or the mask?
Yes.
Okay, noted.
Thank you.
We are here at the RunDisney Star Wars The Dark Side Half Marathon
Earlier this week, both Justin and I participated in the 5K and the 10K and today Justin is
going to brave the half.
The end of this finish line there is a very sweet Death Star medal and I want that, Matt.
Woo!
Go Justin!
Do you guys want to go get coffee?
There you go Vader, you do it!
Go runners!
I’m working hard over here.
3 more miles guys you can do this!
How are you!
EW!
You got it Justin, you’re almost there!
I’m tired just watching.
Well congratulations Justin, how’d you feel?
I feel great actually, the whole route of course you have entertainment.
It’s hard to speed up when the Imperial March plays, you feel motivated and you want
to get it done.
It’s fantastic.
Check out RunDisney.com for more information about upcoming Star Wars runs and may the
Force be with you!
The captain says you are a friend, I will not kill you.
I got Paul Shipper here with me.
If you were at Celebration you were wearing his art around your neck, thanks for coming
in!
It’s a pleasure to be here, let’s talk about that Celebration art because so many
people were talking about it.
Everything this year was very sketchy, it was a very simple style.
Where did you guys kind of land on that?
Lucasfilm decided that they wanted something that was photo realistic; sketchy that had
a rough element of design and paint on the final artwork.
You’ve obviously drawn a bunch of characters now, what was your favorite piece that you’ve
done?
The one sheet style still because I’m a great lover of film posters so to be allowed
to put Something together like that that emulates
the feel of a movie poster…that really kind of ticked all my boxes.
I love that man; I love the look of a nice painted movie poster
Yeah everything is drawn and has that hand touch to it.
You don’t just push a button and it comes out, there’s a lot of labor involved, a
lot of love.
What made you want to submit to Star Wars and do Star Wars art?
It started when I was young, from paying in the playground with my friends pretending
our big old tree was the Millennium Falcon onto growing up and playing the Star Wars
role playing games with one of my best friends.
It is engrained in so many of us.
Is there a Star Wars character, location, something you want a chance to draw that you
haven’t had drawn yet?
You got to cover so many of your bases with Celebration!
That’s true, I did 18 character illustrations for the badges.
There was no Teek.
And there was no Jar Jar, people were really like, where’s Jar Jar?
Kids love him.
And we had to miss out on other great characters like Boba Fett was soley missed by some fans
as well.
Among many others.
It was very difficult to pick, well Han Solo is my favorite character so I’d probably
fall back on Han.
Especially now that we’ve lost him, some sort of memoriam for Han Solo.
Oh, I’d definitely like to see that.
We could do that, we could that.
Cool.
Well Paul thank you so much for coming by man I really appreciate it!
It was an absolute pleasure thank you Anthony.
Apparently Andi and I are going to get into some cars to be in a parade at Disney World.
Because Star Wars?
What’s up everybody!
What do you got?
Tusken Raider (Tusken Raider noise)
Hey everybody, Max Maliga here at Lucasfilm.
It’s May the Fourth, obviously our favorite day of the year.
Kylo!
Can I have a hug?
I love you Kylo.
Our friends from Anovos sent over some helmets to help us celebrate.
We’re both wearing BB-8 shirts!
Real nice, real professional.
I’m so hungry I could eat a Tauntaun lets go see what they got.
Cody what are you eating!
What do you have here today?
This is Aunt Beru’s pulpy remains Why do you like those bisque so bad?
I love me some Aunt Beru.
How’s work today?
It’s hard to work on May the Fourth, right?
Where’s your Star Wars?
What do you got?
I’m actually wearing Star Wars underwear right now…
This is my Chewie shirt man, cool Chewie!
We even have organically farmed Bantha Milk.
Hashtag Banthas make the best milk.
Star Wars has the best fans on the planet, so much so that they turned a pun like May
the Fourth into a holiday.
Which is why last week we asked to see how you were celebrating.
Fans like, Evan TG KC wore Mandalorian armor to school complete with a horse mask.
That is a great Legends novel, pick that one up.
Emperor Eckart couldn’t decide on one shirt to wear on May the 4th so he wore 7, and gaming
George took down a cool glass of blue milk in his death trooper helmet.
Delicious and nutritious But best of all was Joe Blacks Boba Fett cake
complete with Jeremy Bulloch accessory.
That is a very expensive add on at the bakery, I’ve tried to get it.
Thanks to everyone who submitted this week.
And as always please remember to like the video, subscribe to the channel and follow
all of our Star Wars social media handles for all the Star Wars news you could possibly
need.
DO IT.
Thanks for watching and May the force be with you.
May the Force be with you!
I turn into a Beatle when I do it.
My Obi-Wan but it’s also Ringo.
Oh I broke it!
What the heck!
