There's a line from a new hope that I think is entirely appropriate for this moment.

It's said by Sir Alec Guinness, right after he's rescued Mark Hamill from the sand people.

Guinness's character asks, Hail's character, what brings you out so far in the Gungan

Ways?

It marks character then Justice Star 2, D2, and says this little droid is looking for his

former master and someone called Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke then says, do you know who this

little droid is talking about and old Ben pauses for a moment and when he then says, now

that's a name I haven't heard for a long time, a long time.

And speaking of names you haven't heard for a long time, welcome back 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, Dave Filoni, and the rest

of the team at Lucas Film have dreamed up over the past 40 years.

Now Dan Zee and I recorded a new edition of this show back in January of 2021 and he

and I paused working together because frankly Dan was about to get very, very busy and

well not just for coffee with Kenobi, Dan's great podcast, which by the way just launched

a killer new line of merch, but also Dan's brand new book Star Wars, I am your father,

lessons for parents, protectors and mentors, Dan wrote this book with Anvish Long, DK is

sending the 64 page tome out into stores on May 31st, be the perfect father's day gift.

Anyway, so the plan was, I would just pause production of looking at Lucas Film for a few

weeks.

With the idea of being I create a respectful distance between the version of the podcast

I did with Dan Zee and then the new version with another host.
