Summary
In an interview this week, Oscar-nominated actor Adam Driver revealed that he, along with Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh developed a script for a new Star Wars movie called "The Hunt For Ben Solo", which was ultimately rejected by Disney's top brass. So what gives? We look at every angle of this story to break it all down, along with listener reactions and fired-up opinions. We pay tribute to legendary artist Drew Struzan with Erik Sharkey, director of the documentary "Drew: The Man Behind The Poster" and discuss some of his iconic Star Wars movie posters. Will we see the original 1977 version of Star Wars back in theaters for its upcoming 50th anniversary? We analyze some leaked info and imagery that may suggest the answer is yes. Plus, George Lucas and Mellody Hobson recently were interviewed about the soon-to-open Lucas Museum in LA. We review the highlights along with some comments from George about life after Star Wars.
