Welcome to look at Lucasfilm, the podcast with a different perspective in the world of Star Wars Indiana Jones,

and all the other entities that George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, and John Favreau,

as well as the rest of the team at Lucasfilm, have dreamed up over the past 40 years.

By the way, all of those folks, except George, of course, were at the Anaheim Convention

center this past weekend, and you know who else was there? Brian Gone, who was covering the

2022 edition of Star Wars Celebration for this podcast. We will talk about what he saw and

experienced in a moment, plus on the second half of today's show, we will talk about the first

two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the new limited series on Disney Plus. But first, before we get to

the news, we have to acknowledge our sponsor, the folks at Server with Destination,

morning, and when did you get up to get in the car to drive down to Anaheim? Well, just a little

background, I've been going to the Comic Con for about 40 years, the San Diego Comic Con, and I,

you know, I know how to do the Comic Con, but this is a whole different animal. I didn't realize this,

when you get your badges, you have to make sure that they were turned on, so to speak. And then

there was all these things that you had to go on to a lottery system to get into the bigger panels

and stuff like that. I kind of blame that on whole age at Comic Con. There used to be all this

concern about people sleeping outside on the ground there, so they could be sure to get in

the next day into whatever was being presented in the whole age. And this became the default,

the reservation system, the wristband, that sort of thing, which I think kind of complicated

things or at least took some of the fun out of it. Yeah, it basically took the fun out of just being

there. And well, because first what you have to do is you have to get into the the shoots.
