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 have dreamed up over the past 40 years.

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

And I are recording this on Wednesday, May 27th.

Okay, and so we have Star Wars the movie.

We have Star Wars the TV movie. I'm counting the Ewok

adventure there. We have Star Wars the Saturday morning anime show. We got dro droids we got Ewarks you know even

got Star Wars the holiday special the less said the better Star Wars the theme

park attraction Star Tours and then we had the various animated series,

Clone Wars, Rebels, Resistance. We've had Star Wars the limited series with the Mandalorian and you know and again

Star Wars the entire land at a theme park Gal Galleucage.

So I had a proof of about 75% of those things.

Okay, all right, but face it, as an intellectual property, Star Wars at this point has really kind of gone through the entire or virtually the entire entertainment industry food chain.

Which is why I guess it was inevitable that earlier today we all got

to see a trailer for Star Wars The Game Show.

What did we make of Jedi Temple Challenge?

Well, it definitely has that 90s double-dair vibe.

I think that's obviously what they're going for.

And I know that some of the creators behind the show

that was kind of their inspiration for it I have no doubt it's going to be fun and I

have no doubt my son is going to wish he was a part of it but but I am going to say it is a little bit head scratching because

until the announcement, this was always going to be on Disney Plus, so now it's going to be

under the Star with Kids YouTube channel, which is still great, but I'm really surprised and I would love to know why the switch.
