| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome to Steel Wars. I'm comedian Steel Saunders and I do love Star Wars. It is Friday. This will be part two of our Friday coverage of Star Wars celebration and we have just seen the teaser. If you haven't listened to our previous |
| 0:21.8 | blog pods, you can hear our in-room reaction to the teaser. What we're about to do now as part of |
| 0:30.7 | my work for Channel 10's Studio 10 back in Australia, a morning chat news show. We are working on a feature piece on Star Wars |
| 0:41.8 | Celebration and I am in the press row room and I'm about to talk to the cast and crew of Star Wars |
| 0:50.1 | The Last Jedi. Now while when you watch the piece on television, you'll only hear some snippet highlights from the interviews. |

| 2:03.0 | like I went to Celebration Undercover and there's so much respect for it and so much love |
| 2:08.1 | for the fan base and it's just incredible. So now I feel like I'm... I guess not being like that |
| 2:15.3 | into a performance and seeing an event like this must be extra overwhelming. |
| 2:19.3 | Insane. |
| 2:20.3 | Insane. |
