Oh, hey.
Sorry.
Just listening to some Star Wars music, actually.
Let's get into some Star Wars fun, shall we?
In yesterday's celebration-filled "Star Wars
Show" episode, which included some awesome highlights
from panels of the past, we got our first look
at some of the new Star Wars celebration merchandise that
will be going on sale soon.
We may not be with all of you in Anaheim this weekend,
but we've still got some sweet celebration exclusives.
And for the first time ever, they'll
be available for everyone.
We've got cool t-shirts like BB-8 as an avocado,
plus a very blue Luke trying to keep warm
inside a Tauntaun plush, a crashed AT-AT tiki
mug, and much, much more.
Want to get your hands on some of these goodies?
Follow this link with items going live starting Friday
for celebration ticket holders and open
to the public on Monday.
And keep your eyes on StarWars.com
for more Star Wars celebration exclusives
coming later this year.
If you're missing Star Wars--
Galaxy's Edge today, Star Wars Kids
released a trilogy of animated shorts celebrating
the planet of Batuu.
Join a curious porg for a stroll through Black Spire Outpost,
hop in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon,
or rise to the challenge of joining the Resistance.
Check out all three adventures and more
on StarWarsKids.com now.
But Star Wars-- Galaxy's Edge isn't just making
its way onto Star Wars Kids.
Only at Target, the Star Wars--
Galaxy's Edge Trading Outpost collection
is bringing Black Spire Outpost-inspired items
to Target.com and Target stores starting this Sunday.
Hug a Wookiee with the Chewbacca hooded blanket.
Go on an adventure with your Hasbro Black
Series' Hondo Ohnaka figure.
Build your own LEGO Star Wars Resistance I-TS Transport ship.
Sip from a Jawa mug.
Now all we need is some blue milk,
and I really feel like I'm back on Batuu.
Need some new tunes to jam out to this summer?
Last week, the "Star Wars--
Jedi Fallen Order" game soundtrack
went live on digital platforms.
That means you can relive the adventures or pretend that
taking out the garbage is as exciting as fighting
an Inquisitor, with tracks like "BD-1 And The Boglings,"
which honestly sounds like an amazing name for a band,
and other hits right now on Apple Music, Spotify, and more.
And other exciting news is happening
in the galaxy of Star Wars games right now
at Gamescom Opening Night Live.
You can tune into the live livestream at the address
below for a closer look at the story in "Star Wars--
Squadrons" and a shiny new trailer for "Lego Star Wars--
The Skywalker Saga."
Plus, a little porg told us we can expect
a few other pieces of Star Wars games
news coming out of the event.
More on that next week, I bet.
[CLICKS TONGUE]
Earlier this week, "Vader Immortal" hit PlayStation VR.
Now fans can experience the story of the ILMxLAB VR series
on a brand new platform.
So be sure to check it out.
This week in Star Wars history, we're
celebrating the birthday of the one and only Kenny Baker.
Known for bringing the adventurous, brave, and
day-saving droid R2-D2 to life, we can't imagine the Star Wars
galaxy without C-3PO's faithful counterpart or the man
who helped bring him to life.
Gone but never forgotten.
Speaking of droids, we don't spend
nearly enough time talking about droids on this show.
Since we're big fans-- and we know many of you are,
too-- this week we want to hear who your ideal droid companion
would be and why.
Would you want a helpful co-pilot like R2-D2 or BB-8?
Maybe a sassy pal like Chopper or K-2SO?
Or do you just need a good babysitter?
Because I think IG-11 could help you in that department.
The options are truly endless.
Let us know your pick using the hashtag #ThisWeeksDroid,
and we'll share some of our favorite responses
in next week's episode.
That's it for this week.
But for more on these stories and other news from around the
galaxy, check out StarWars.com.
And be sure to join us right here for "This Week
in Star Wars" every Thursday.
Thanks for watching, and may the Force be with you.
