Welcome to Looking at Lucasfilm, 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 of Lucas film have been dreaming up for us for the past 40 years.

I'm entertainment writer Jim Hill and my co-host, the one and only Dan Z.

We're recording this on Wednesday, January 8th, 2020.

in the whole Zori Bliss section.

But we'll get to that look.

That's probably a good place to fall asleep if you're going to fall asleep.

I don't mean as a pejorative, but I mean if you had to pick one section that might be it.

Okay, well, somehow I don't think that's going to be the pull quote for the box Dan, but probably not
