522: Coca-Cola x Star Wars REFRESH YOUR GALAXY

Star Wars and Coca-Cola go back as far as the original film releases in 1977 when they collaborated with Burger King for their collectible posters and drinking glasses. Now Coca-Cola and Star Wars join forces once again with the new promotion - “Refresh Your Galaxy!”.    There are new cans and bottles with beautiful red, white, and black Star Wars character art, and a new commercial filled with Easter eggs (you know how much we love easter eggs!). We invited laughingplace.com ’s Mike Celestino (Who’s the Bossk?) and Rebekah Moseley to join us as we deep dive for a commercial commentary and the announcement press event held at Galaxy’s Edge.   Episode discussion links: Coca-Cola x Star Wars: Refresh Your Galaxy NEW Coca-Cola x Star Wars Collaboration – Product Reveal Interviews: NEW Coca-Cola x Star Wars Collaboration Coca-Cola x Star Wars: Refresh Your Galaxy - Laughing Place On Location   TODAY in Star Wars History 7/5/1948   Happy 77t...

521: Early Days of Ridiculous Star Wars Rumors

Are you ready to hear some ridiculous Star Wars rumors from the early ‘70’s and ‘80’s? Things like Luke, Han & Chewbacca warping through time to fight in the Clone Wars, and Darth Bane appearing in the prequels played by Christopher Walken!? There are so many fun rumors planted by our friend Craig Miller - the mastermind of early rumors working at Lucasfilm.    This episode is recorded from a panel we hosted at LosCon 2022. Up until now it was just available for the Skywalking Force, now we will share it with the world. Joining us on the panel was Kevin Toft and Max Cervantes from the Max EFX podcast, as well as our friend Craig Miller (Lucasfilm, Fan Relations). Unfortunately we did not video record this Loscon panel so we just added in lots of pictures. Enjoy   TODAY in Star Wars History 7/1/1935   Happy 90th birthday (posthumous) to David Prowse.
