420: Return of the Jedi Unauthorized Timeline

Image
Our Star Wars month celebration continues with the 40th anniversary of RETURN OF THE JEDI! Authors Justin Berger and Jamie Benning share details of their NEW book, Return of the Jedi Unauthorized Timeline , out June 1st.    We (Richard and Sarah) then recap Comic-Con Revolution: our Star Wars Trivia panel, book sales, and meeting TIMOTHY ZAHN.    Then it’s on to Star Wars news this past week, which unfortunately included sad events. Ray Stevenson passed away on Sunday May 21. Many fans first heard him as the voice of Gar Saxxon on THE CLONE WARS and STAR WARS REBELS, and most recently we all cheered him and his enthusiasm at Star Wars Celebration Europe when he was promoting AHSOKA.    Then Disney announced that the Galactic Starcruiser will journey on its final voyage in September, and we are sad to see this go.   NEW BOOK - Skywalking Through My Fandom available now!!

419: Carrie Fisher's Star Treatment

Image
Learn how Carrie Fisher’s Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was made!! Our friend, Lavonne Dominguez of Liningup.net, took part in this very special, once-in-a-lifetime experience. She and 5 other LiningUp.net members spent a day in Hollywood pouring cement, blow-torching Carrie Fisher’s name-plate, cutting out the star, and signing their names - all while spreading TONS of glitter in and around Carrie Fisher’s Star. Be sure to watch the video podcast above to see photos that correspond to her descriptions. It’s absolutely fascinating.   NEW BOOK - Skywalking Through My Fandom available now!!
