Skywalking Through Neverland

Star Wars Celebration has been cancelled, but that won’t stop us from having a Star Wars Virtual Celebration #SWVC2020! We’ve been knee-deep in planning this event - guests and collaborators are excited, and we wanted to share our mission statement:  SWVC 2020 celebrates different voices in fandom that aren’t always heard or can’t always attend Star Wars Celebration. This is an opportunity to have discussions that open our minds to different perspectives.  If you’re interested, please sign up here. Special guest David Jesse of Tatooine Sons joins us to share our SWVC2020 plans so far.  Also on this episode is a special Things We Want To Share, including Disney+ news, films that make us feel old, and a Constable Zuvio Museum by Martin Keeler - the Zuvium ! If that doesn’t intrigue you, I’m not sure what will. Small World Vacations Small World Vacations is an official sponsor of Skywalking Through Neverland.
