Welcome to Looking at Lucasfilm, 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 Lucasfilm

had dreamed up over the past 40 years.

I'm Entertainment Writer Jim Hill and my co-host, the one the only Dan Z, and I are recording this on

Wednesday, April 15th, which is traditionally Tax Day here in the States.

Dan, did you actually get your taxes done before they extended the deadline out?

Or?

Yeah, mine were done a couple of months ago we tried to secure that right off the bat. Yeah. Okay. How about you? Well, you know I did again I'm I, I live at the end of a dirt road. I kind of work the unibomer side of the street, so, you know,

I anticipate the IRS will come find me someday. Anyway, okay, so yes, April 15th, you know, and for those of you who are history buffs this is also the night the

Titanic went down back in 12 that's I deal a little due diligence before we got started here today in tonight.

That's 1514 people were lost that night.

That's why we still talk about this disaster 108 years later. However, just to put

this in perspective, the Washington Post reported a half hour ago.

2,400 people died in the United States just today from the coronavirus.

So, yeah, kind of sobering news and yes

used English teacher I always think of the T.S.

Elliot line from the wasteland. What is it April is the cruelest month? Yes, ironic really ironic. How's the weather been for you guys? We woke up this morning you know two days ago it was in the 70s today

was the grounds covered in snow it's a pretty odd time but that's why we're excited to talk about some Lucasfilm products and releases because we know that people need a smile on their face.

And good news, the force is strong with us we were ready to go.

Well yeah but again I hate to be Debbie Downer but you know we have to start with the

disappointing news and that's a yes buddy your good close personal friend Harris and Ford
