- This week, we're talking new "Star Wars" movies
and "Star Wars" VR.
- And also other related "Star Wars" stuff.
- Like we always do.
- Because it's in the name of the show.
[THEME MUSIC]
- This is "The Star Wars Show."
From the Lucasfilm Headquarters in San Francisco,
here's your hosts, Andi and Anthony.
- Hello and welcome to "The Star Wars Show."
The only "Star Wars" show on the internet that won an Emmy.
[CHEERING] - Woo!
- Woo!
- Pew, pew, pew, pew.
Woo, woo, woo!
- It was an honor just to be nominated.
- But it felt really good to win.
[CHEERING]
Woo, woo!
Pew, pew.
Pew, pew, pew.
- Let's go to the news.
Last week, the Walt Disney Company
revealed lots of new release dates for upcoming films,
and "Star Wars" was well represented.
- Three new "Star Wars" feature films
are set for release on December 16, 2022, December 20,
2024, and December 18, 2026.
- One "Star Wars" project we did know about
but still didn't have a release date for
is "Vader Immortal," the new VR experience
from ILMxLAB and Oculus.
- Well, that all changed last week
when it was revealed that the first episode will release
on Oculus Quest on May 21.
- "Star Wars Vader Immortal, Episode 1"
follows a force-sensitive smuggler brought to Mustafar
and tasked with helping Darth Vader
recover mysterious artifacts.
- For more on "Vader Immortal, Episode 1,"
check out vaderimmortal.com.
- And for more "Star Wars" news from around the galaxy,
check out starwars.com/sws.
- That's it?
That's all we've got for news?
- Yeah, but there's more news. Don't worry.
- Whew.
- Yeah, exactly.
Watch this.
- "The Star Wars Show" presents Everything is Important--
this week, the happabore.
Limited to 14 seconds of screen time, the thirsty happabore
was the hefty creature quenching its thirst
on the desert planet of Jakku.
And without the parched happabore knocking over Finn
from his water dish, Finn might not
have noticed Rey getting attacked,
leading to their meeting and swiping the Millennium Falcon
from Unkar Plutt, hand-delivering the Falcon
to Han Solo, who then introduces Finn and Rey to Maz Kanata, who
just so happens to have Luke's lightsaber stored away,
resulting in Finn bringing that same lightsaber with him
to Starkiller Base, allowing Rey to duel Kylo Ren,
and ensuring Luke Skywalker will not be the last Jedi.
And without the happabore, Rey and Finn
might not have met in the chaos of the First Order's attack,
of leaving Rey and BB-8 to wander Jakku on their own
until she finally decides to sell
them for those 60 portions.
The legacy of the Jedi salutes you, thirsty happabore.
[SQUEAKS]
- I'm so excited to be sitting down with Cavan Scott.
Welcome, sir.
- Hello there.
- I have only Jaxxon-related questions.
- Let's go for it.
- That's all I have.
This is the Jaxxon Show, isn't it?
- You, to me, are the person who brought back the giant rabbit.
- I did it just for you, obviously.
- Thank you. - Yeah, yeah.
- I think a lot of people are very happy you
brought back the giant rabbit.
- I say that to everyone I meet, whether they know who Jaxxon is
or not, to be honest.
- Yeah, you're just like, hey, Cavan Scott.
I brought back the giant space rabbit.
- Yeah.
- So this is about you've been having a lot of fun
on "Star Wars Adventures."
- Oh, my heavens, yeah.
It's been amazing.
The year ago I was on here and we were just
talking about doing the Han Solo stuff,
and then since then, we've just brought everyone back.
And, yeah, the Jaxxon thing was just crazy because, for me,
Jaxxon was "Star Wars."
Before I saw "Empire Strikes Back," before I saw a movie,
I'd read Jaxxon.
- Really?
- So I was very upset when I saw "Empire Strikes Back."
Where's the rabbit?
Where is the rabbit?
- That's amazing.
- So, yeah, I basically started campaigning from the moment
I started writing "Star Wars."
Can I put Jaxxon in this?
- We ready for Jaxxon yet? - Yeah, yeah.
- You just tell me when we're ready for Jaxxon.
- Yeah, and then finally the email came through saying,
we're ready for Jaxxon.
I know that.
- You're doing a lot of other really fun stuff,
stuff that I'm absolutely loving with "Star
Wars Adventures" and "Tales From Vader's Castle."
It's like an old-school EC Comics horror anthology.
- Yeah, it's one of those moments I go,
are they going to let me do this?
Oh, they are.
And I think the two things, Jaxxon was
obviously big on my list to do.
Remake "The Wicker Man" with Ewoks, that was right up there.
And strangely, they let me do that as well.
So now I've got to aim higher, I should think.
- Yeah. [LAUGHS]
- Yeah, I mean, I'm a massive old Hammer
horror fan, Universal.
So the chance to do something in the "Star Wars" universe,
for kids as well, was too good opportunity to miss.
- I mean, obviously, "The Wicker Man" with Ewoks is a very--
- "The Wicket Man."
- --very high watermark for "Star Wars" horror.
- Yeah.
- But when I started reading the issue with Obi Wan,
you did a Christopher Lee "Dracula" comic in "Star Wars."
- That was the entire basis of the entire miniseries came from
me and Mike Siglain from Lucasfilm talking about this
going, what we need to do is do a Christopher
Lee vampire [INAUDIBLE] story.
And that's where the miniseries came from.
We were trying to work out how we got Tarkin in there to try
and stake him, but we just didn't quite make it work.
It's all come from Christopher Lee.
Everything's from Christopher Lee.
- And you're doing a lot of wonderful stuff.
Obviously, you wrote the young adult "Wild Space" novels,
and there's a lot of stuff going on in "Star Wars
Adventures" in "Wild Space."
"Wild Space" has to be a really fun place
to work in as a writer in "Star Wars."
- Yeah, because anything goes.
It's literally a place where they don't
know what's on the next planet.
Following on from "Adventures," we
have now got this family, the Graf family, who spend
their entire life out there.
And it's been great to see that build over the last few years.
So it's been great to return to those characters.
- You've got more stuff coming up with "Adventures."
Right? What's in the works here?
- I'm back writing Obi Wan again, Obi Wan and Captain Rex.
Then we've got Anakin teaming up with Yoda,
and then Han and Luke teaming up to try
and impress Princess Leia, which is just too much fun.
- Cavan, thank you so much for stopping by, sir.
- Thanks for having me. - This was wonderful.
- Thank you.
- You're watching the "Star Wars Show."
- As we mentioned ever so subtly at the beginning
of the show this week, "The Star Wars Show"
won its first-ever Emmy.
- Woo.
- We won the Outstanding Daytime Promotional Announcement
Topical Emmy for our "Star Wars Arrested Development" sketch
that we did with Ron Howard last year.
- And we would like to thank our amazing crew
for making this entire thing we do possible.
- Our executive producer and boss, Mickey Capoferri,
John Harper for producing and directing
the show, Scott Bromley for producing and putting the words
into all of our mouths.
- Our incredible associate producer, AJ Camarillo,
our graphics guru, Tony Sherg, our amazing production
coordinator, Anina Walas, the incomparable Kyle Kao
and Frank Knight, without whom this show would not even
get out the door every week.
- And of course, you, the fans.
Without you, we wouldn't even have a show.
So thank you for being part of our silly little slice of "Star
Wars" fandom week after week.
- You guys are what keeps us going.
- This one's for you guys and girls out there.
- Shall we close the show?
- Absolutely.
Remember to like the video, subscribe to the channel,
follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram,
and give a random person a high five this week.
- They'll appreciate it, maybe.
- Definitely.
Thanks for watching, and may the force be with you.
- You just gotta look at elbows, otherwise you'll Kitster it.
- Yeah, easy.
[WHOOSHING]
Just don't slap a random person by accident.
- Don't slap a random person.
Don't Kitster it.
That's basically all the advice I have.
- Maybe this challenge was asking a bit much.
- I couldn't do it.
