Summary

OH BABY, WE'RE BACK! In this otherworldly debut episode of Season 2, we're getting into all things Batuu with Walt Disney Imagineering's Scott Trowbridge — a two-time guest! — and The Art of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge author Amy Ratcliffe.

We wouldn't usually dive into a book straight away, but this one is beyond special. Written by one of my all-time favorite writers, The Art of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is jam-packed with never-before-seen concept art, Star Wars secrets and behind-the-scenes stories of how these lands were really made. It's rare to get such a robust look at how these spaces are created — and what was left behind — and both Scott and Amy were game to discuss *everything* between its covers.

Come aboard as we chat secret ride code names, design principles and even the 26-foot-long hamster-gerbil that lives on within Star Wars lore!!!

(Make sure to stick around for a couple'a wink-winks about Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser — and yes, THAT lightsaber — as well as a personal Churros hotline story about the perils of eating blue food!!)
