Skywalking Through Neverland

Since the Podcast Stage began at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2015, we’ve been a part of the fun. This year marks our third appearance on the Podcast Stage, so we call it our Interactive Fandom Adventure III! We invited Skywalkers to come up and discuss the Episode IX Trailer and name “The Rise of Skywalker” which had just released that morning. Din, lead singer of the band F-105, rocked the roof off the place with a new song, “Song For Celebration”. He was accompanied by Chris Macht. And we had our Blast Shields game and giveaways! Everyone who attended also received our SWCC button. We can’t thank all of the Skywalker volunteers enough for their assistance with another great Interactive Fandom Adventure stage show. Brian Sims, Teresa Delgado Lutha, Matt Clifton, Daniel Berry, Joey Pittman, David Braun, Aaron Curto, Jess Walz, John Zancanaro, Gary Oransky, Tati Perez, Daniel Carlton, and Bryce Eller as the voice of Darth Vader. Another week, another awesome episode!
