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 on 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 Lucas

film have dreamed up over the past 40 years.

I'm Entertainment Writer Jim Hill and my co-host Dan Zee.

How is it you are still standing upright? Didn't you just get back

from Chicago and this year's Star Wars celebration? I did, but this is actually just kind of my normal pace anyway. I stay up late, I think about Star Wars and write about it and talk about it.

I wake up early and do lots of exercising, but in this instance I did it around McCormick Place instead of in a gym.

So it was pretty normal for me.

I have done the Comic-Con thing where you do the five days of walking around a giant convention

center and I know you need recovery days.

So the fact that you drop back into your teaching routine is immediately.

It is a real tribute to you or maybe I'm just a lazy slug.

No, don't get me wrong. I'm sure I taught and walked like I was going through Jello

for about a day and a half. I have no doubt about that.

Okay.

Well we'll tell you what folks, we're going to deviate from our usual formula here.

Largely because so much news just came out of this year's Star Wars celebration and Dan had a front row seat for a lot of this stuff.

So what I'm going to try to do here is ask him the sort of questions that I'm hoping looking

at Lucasfilm listeners would like to have Dan answer and that way we could live vicariously
