Summary

EXCLUSIVE! Thanks to a recent discovery, we present highlights from the very first-ever STAR WARS publicity tour featuring a rare interview with Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher. Recorded live on the air in June 1977 in Chicago, it’s a funny and fascinating look-back at the STAR WARS phenomenon while it was still in its infancy. And you can only hear it on RFR. Plus, we feature the latest in STAR WARS news including comments from D.B. Weiss about the STAR WARS trilogy he was developing along with his “Game of Thrones” production partner David Benioff, a Jake Lloyd update, and Ewan McGregor interview highlights with his wife, Hera Syndulla actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead (AHSOKA). Along with listener feedback and Star Wars In Pop Culture features “Young Sheldon”.
