Hey guys, each week exclusively for Steel Wars supporters, I talk Star Wars for over an hour with the gonged droid Tony Medina, Star Wars consultant for Jack's Pacific Toys.

Here's a clip.

Well, aside from really liking the Stormtroopers, like the, you know, seeing like sandtroopers and the new helmets and stuff for the dark, like death troopers and stuff like that, it was really cool seeing, seeing, you know, gongtroids again.

And something I actually pointed out to you, which I thought was really funny, is that they're recycling props from episode seven.

And it was like one of the first things i noticed this is pretty

funny like even from the um episode seven trailer seeing uh this one gongtroid that's behind

uh po dameron under like uh under an x wing and then seeing the exact same gongtroid exact same

like decal like everything uh in this trailer i thought it was pretty funny. You know, I got me thinking, where the fuck is this stormtroot? I mean, where the fuck is this power droid been like the last, like, what, 40s plus years or whatever? So I thought that was pretty funny to actually see something like that. And I thought it was pretty interesting that they were using props for this film. I'm kind of curious, like, what else they're going to be using. But other than that, like, I don't know.

It was pretty exciting seeing that again, like they're bringing it in. And then the fucking Death Star, man. That whole part where they're like putting the, was it like the, like the dish part? Like, and it's coming, like, they're putting it inside, like,

you know what I'm talking about?

No, I've got no idea what you're talking about. I, like, that whole part where they're putting, like... Oh, shut up, of course I know what you're talking about. I know, I know, I know. I'm just saying, like, that whole part was just, like, it was just amazing, like, just seeing that right there at the Star Destroyer right there.

Like I was just dying, man. Like, just having that, like, it was just amazing, like, just seeing that right there at the Star Destroyer right there. Like, I was just dying, man. Like, like, just having that, like, ah, that's enough to, like, win me over. Like, it could have just been, like, a three-second, like, clip of that, and I would have been like, okay, I'm sold. Ask me, answer me this. Yeah. Why'd they put it together before putting it in?

It's like building your IKEA account out of your house and then trying to get it in the door.

Yeah, that's pretty interesting.

I wonder if it's actually they're putting some... It's so big.

I mean, are they really putting in it or are they just making adjustments or something?

You know what I mean?

Like, I don't know. I don't know exactly if they're actually putting the whole, like, what is it, the Death Star, like there's like some kind of crystal or something that they put inside it. Like, I don't have a crystal. Yeah, I don't know if they're putting that in or if they're just making adjustments to the actual thing. So I don't know. I have no idea. It's so big.

Yeah.

It's fucking, it's kind of ridiculous.

But like, I like that they're showing that.

And, you know, it makes sense for it to, like, for us to see more detail of the Death Star.
