Hey did you know there was a new trailer for The Last Jedi?
Wait, what!?
Yeah!
It’s important for us to know these things!
This week on The Star Wars Show!
Andi sits down with the one and only Dave Filoni!
We check out your reactions to The Last Jedi trailer!
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, and this is
The Star Wars Show, a show who’s writer doesn’t understand football so he expects
us to make a joke about how we don’t think it works
Yeah there’s like a whole thing on the screen right now about how we don’t get football.
What a stereotype!
Nerds and jocks am I right guys?
Star Wars!
News!
Kicking things off with a little trailer news, that’s football.
We know football.
Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire, the “hyper-reality” experience coming to Disney Springs in Orlando
and Downtown Disney in Anaheim released a trailer of their own this week.
Secrets of the Empire allows guests in groups of four to go undercover as Stormtroopers
to capture intelligence vital to the rebellion…all untethered, allowing you to interact with
items in the virtual environment in real time.
We are living in the future Andi and I love it!
Tickets and more information about Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire are available at The
Void.com.
Last weekends New York Comic Con may be an Schwan sauce flavored memory, too soon.
But the con did bring a TON of new Star Wars info.
Hasbro revealed new black series figures for 4-Lom, Dengar, Jabba’s Palace Disguise Lando,
Rey, and DJ, Benicio Del Toro’s character from The Last Jedi.
Hasbro also revealed new 3.75 inch figures for Maz, Finn, Phasma, and C’ai Threnalli.
During a Lucasfilm publishing panel Timothy Zahn announced he’s currently writing a
sequel to Thrawn which according to him, might be called “Alliances” not because of the
plot but because of the alliance between Timothy Zahn and me Anthony Carboni.
I am now going to be writing the Thrawn novel with Timothy Zahn who also agreed to be my
new father.
And Daniel Jose Older is working on an as yet untitled Star Wars novel.
All of this stuff is real.
For more about everything Star Wars, including a look at the Last Jedi Prop Gallery check
out Star Wars.com.
It’s just an honor to be making my debut as a writer with the great Timothy Zahn on
Thrawn Alliances.
Finally this week, you might’ve seen the trailer for a little indie film called Star
Wars The Last Jedi.
The trailer gave us looks at Rey training on Ach To, Luke looking and sounding shocked,
Kylo sporting what looks like to me like a space band-aid over his scar and piloting
his TIE silencer like his grandfather.
And it wouldn’t be a Star Wars trailer without lots of teases of space and ground combat,
However, if you ask the internet the standouts were clearly Chewie and his porg side kick
and THOSE ADORABLE CRYSTAL FOX GUYS And wouldn’t you know it, our beloved Star
Wars Show audience loves filming themselves watching a trailer.
So we decided, hey, why not mash up our favorites into this fun little segment.
Enjoy!
You are watching The Star Wars Show!
Shh shh!!
“When I found you…”
Oh my god
OH The AT-M6s
“I saw raw, untamed power.”
That’s Snoke talking to Kylo Ren.
“And beyond that, something truly special.”
Ooooh!
Look at that lightsaber blade.
Oh she looks so good with that lightsaber.
“Something inside has always been there.”
Oh my gosh, this is crazy guys!
“And now it’s awake, and I need help.”
Rey with a lightsaber! Rey with a lightsaber!
Oh!
Already, man.
Oooh!
I’ve seen this raw strength only once before.
“It didn’t scare me enough then.
It does now.”
God, DUDE!
“Let the past die.”
Oh no “Kill it, if you have to.”
“It’s the only way to become what you were meant to be.”
Oh don’t do it!
NO!
Don’t you dare!
(Chewie roar, Porg squeak) “We’ll light the spark, that’ll light
the fire that will bring the First Order down”.
Yeah come on!
FINALLY!
“This is not going to go…the way you think.”
No?
“Fulfill…your….destiny.”
SNOKE!
Whoa what was going on there “I need someone.
To show me my place in all this.”
YES!
NO!
WHAT!?
No no no! (screams)
I think he’s heading for that small moon!
That’s no moon.
We like each other so much we dressed alike today.
Welcome Dave Filoni back to the show!
Hey guys, Andi how are you?
You know, just flannel.
It’s autumn.
Yeah I love this time of year, so why not.
Yeah Rebels season!
Rebels season it is, I never thought of it that way.
We got Rebels starting this week.
Fourth and final season.
I know…
How does that feel for you?
It’s weird.
It’s obviously sad for me but it’s had a really good run.
I’m really proud of it.
I think it started off and it had to grow and we had to figure out a slightly different
way of how we were going to produce it from Clone Wars.
But by the end here we’ve really figured out our storytelling and the characters.
And I love these characters, it was very different to go from Anakin, Obi Wan, Ahsoka and Rex
to this Ghost Crew.
And for a while you’re like, who are these people?
They’ve really come to form these characters and their arcs are clear to me.
And the actors have done a brilliant job.
You know I see them pretty consistently for the last 4 years but I don’t see the guys
as much anymore.
Yeah, because we’re done recording it.
Only if we pick up lines every now and then I call them in.
Sometimes I call some lines just to make them come in.
Obviously you can’t, and wouldn’t want to tell us about what’d coming up, but what
should we prepare ourselves for?
Everything is going to happen this season because it has to.
I think things that you want to happen and things you’d rather didn’t happen but
it makes sense for the story.
And a lot of people are dancing around with what’s ultimately going to happen but no
one’s really quite hit it yet.
It is, I would say our best season.
It is the one where I think we got more things right than we got wrong.
There is no throwaway episode.
No filler.
There was no filler episode.
But there never was.
I know!
What we reveal now …that’s what you find out!
None of it was filler.
I’ve been saying that for years!
Whether that was our intention when we started or not, is debatable.
Generally speaking did you know from the beginning how the arc of the series would play out and
how it would end?
A lot of the times you’ll find that characters along the way tell you where they want to
go.
I wouldn’t say I knew this was the ending when we started 4 years ago but I was always
driven from Day 1 at where are we going with this.
How is this different than Luke.
How is this a unique Star Wars storytelling experience and yet maintain the same values
and goals and things that George set down as being important things for Star Wars to
do as a story.
There is an overriding core of selflessness that drives forward the idea of the Force
and what it means to be a hero.
It’s not about one person saving everybody else, it’s about people saying I can be
like that too and we can all be a hero unto ourselves and inspire other people.
It’s come together in a way because we’ve driven at it every year.
I think we have the right answer that revealed itself over time.
There’s some weird stuff coming up though.
There are some deep dives.
It gets a little weird.
Working in animation gives you the freedom to do some of those weirder things in the
Force.
Because the galaxy’s a weird place.
I think so.
Maybe people are more accepting of it I don’t know but there’s definitely some weird imagery
and things coming up that echo things we were doing a long time ago which I think is exciting
for some fans and we’ll see what the rest think.
They’ll let me know.
That’s what I love about Star Wars fans Oh yeah!
They’ll let me know whether they like it or they don’t.
Sometimes it’s almost more entertaining when they don’t like stuff because they
can’t do anything about it.
I’m trying to do a lot of things now and it makes things complicated but in the best
possible way because hopefully it means I get to tell more stories, which is what I
love to do most of all.
Is to tell great stories for the audience.
Yo Steve Blum here voice of Garazeb Orrelios also known as Zeb on Star Wars Rebels and
you’re watching The Star Wars Show.
Karabast!
Well that was And you know the best part was that we didn’t
just learn a lot about Star Wars, we learned a lot about ourselves.
Yeah, in here.
It’s real special.
That’s where it was.
Thanks for watching and remember to watch the season premiere of Rebels on DisneyXD
Monday the 16th.
That’s this Monday and as always may the Force be with you.

So excited that I just stood here and nodded.

She’s got into a fugue state over the premiere of Star Wars Rebels.
