Summary

Jason and Gabe are talking about one of their favorite Star Wars things ever, Dark Horse Comics' amazing and vastly underrated Star Wars Tales comic series. It was an anthology series that would feature everything from stories about the main heroes to thrilling tales of Yaddle or George R. Binks, Jar Jar's sea captain father. They go over which stories and issues have some of their favorites and why the carefree spirit of the Tales comics is for them missed in today's strictly controlled Star Wars universe. (Tales talk starts at about the 16 minute mark) AND! They go over the latest news with talk on a possible Obi-Wan spin off movie, singing Obi-Wan, whispering George Lucas' late night phone calls, the nonstop Last Jedi toy leaks & more!

0:18.0	The thing I love about Star Wars is that the story has got a real balance of good versus evil.
0:25.6	And then you have these characters that are in the in-betweens of these two extremes.
0:30.6	So drawing characters in the Star Wars universe is a real joy for an artist to work in
0:34.6	because you can touch on so many artistic elements. It's a very
0:38.6	liberating universe to work in. There's a common thread in George's taste in art, which is that a
0:45.9	lot of art when it's originally created is considered disposable, actually in retrospect is regarded

0:57.0	I started collecting when I was really in film school. You know, I started out by collecting
1:01.0	comic art. I bought an Uncle Scrooge comic page for like $25. At one point, I wanted to become an illustrator.
1:09.0	My father said, no way, I'm going to pay for that.
1:12.6	You can go do it on your own if you want, but you'll never make a living as an artist. Where you We're We're Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh Oh Oh Oh
