From KCRW and KCRW.com, I'm Kim Masters, and this is the business.

When he came to L.A. to pursue his acting career, the daily shows Asif Monbi found himself

This is an event that took place in Anaheim right by Disneyland, of course, and all over the Internet.

They brought out, you know, the C-3PO actor.

They brought out Storm Troopers in costume.

And then the big reveal was that trailer that everyone's talking about.
