Welcome back to looking at Lucasfilm with Brian Gahn, 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 John Favreau, as well as the rest of the team of Lucasholm,

have dreamed up over the past 54 years.

Brian and I are recording this week's show on Thursday, March 20th, 2025,

which means we're just a week in change out from the start of WonderCon,

which, for lack of a better explanation, Brian, is what, Comic Con's little brother? Yeah, it started up in San Francisco.

So they had San Francisco and then they had San Diego. And then they, the Maconi Center went

under re-they were redoing it. And so it came down down for two it came down to anaheim for two

years it was just going to be down for two years and the funny thing the first year it was there

it was split one half was wonder con and the other half was the cheerleaders championships.

Oh.

So it was almost like the dingo ate my baby type of thing.

And the, but it was really cool because the girls from the cheerleading, they came over and they would have their lunch in front of the doors of the WonderCon just to see all the costumes and the people and this stuff like that.

And everybody got along fine.

You know, they were talking to people and taking pictures and the whole thing.

And that was the first year. and Bill did go to that one.

And then the second year was on Easter weekend.

So a lot of people would leave on Sunday.

So that was a disaster.

And then they kind of, then they decided to keep it down in Anaheim because Anaheim.

And then some weekends it was on Easter week and the others it wasn't.
