Hey guys, welcome to Steel Wars. I am comedian, Steele Saunders, and I do love Star Wars. And each

0:27.2

week I find somewhat of interest to talk about it with. And this week, you guys, I have hit

0:33.7

the jackpot because I have the associate editor of Star Wars, The Force Awakens, Julian Smirk.

0:42.7

How are you doing, Julian? I'm really good, Steele. Thanks for having me on the show.

0:45.9

Thanks for being had. I'm very excited to get your insight. Now, we met on perhaps, it's up there on one of the best days of my life.

Jaku, Millennium Falcon Chase. And for some reason, you recognize me off Instagram.

1:56.9

And I was like a bit stunned because I'd just seen nine minutes of the new Star Wars film.

2:02.4
