Summary

We're joined by FX sculptor and artist Tom Spina of Tom Spina Designs and Regal Robot to talk about the creatures, aliens, monsters, and other non-human sentient beings that make Star Wars stand out from other film franchises. We have a longer than normal episode because we simply had a blast nerding out about that side of bringing Star Wars to life. We also talk about the evolution of the industry and how it has actually gotten stronger in a digital world, as well as Tom's work on recent Star Wars projects like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. The Resistance base is open to all, so please spread the word about our Star Wars podcast and join us! Please make sure to subscribe free to the show on your preferred platform!
