Industrial Light and Magic, Lucas Arts, Sky Walker Sound, Lucas Film Animation. This is looking

at Lucas Film with Jim Hill and Dan Z.

Welcome to Looking at Lucas Film, the podcast with a different perspective in the world of

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and all of the other entities that George Lucas,

Kathleen Kennedy, and the rest of the team at the Lucas Film

have dreamed up over the past 40 years.

I'm Entertainment Writer Jim Hill,

and on behalf of my co-host, the one the only, Dan Z. I want to wish all of you a belated

happy New Year's. I also feel like I need to apologize for passing along some bad info with our last podcast and Dan you

had nothing to do with it I was the guy who told everybody what I heard from a

member of the PR team at Disney Studios, how they were looking to debut

the teaser trailer for episode 9 as part of Dick Clark's Rock and Eve, the thing that rang Secress host now.

Originally, as I was told, the plan was that after the ball dropped in Times Square,

immediately afterwards, what they wanted to do was broadcast on the

super screens of the Jumbotrons around Times Square to run the trailer there.

And I had what I thought was a great source in this story, Dan. A guy, I've known for

ABC, done this guy for years, he's been a great source previously, never steered me wrong before.

Problem was though that between when we recorded the last podcast, which I think was December 19th and when December 31st rolled around things changed.

Did you actually watch the rockinue of that night?

I watched about two hours of it and when I started seeing the dumbbell stuff

I thought oh maybe they're just going to wait on this and and to be fair and

completely in your defense the PR teams are great and they're often overworked
