419: Carrie Fisher's Star Treatment May 18, 2023

Show notes

Learn how Carrie Fisher's Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was made!! Our friend, Lavonne Dominguez of Liningup.net, took part in this very special, once-in-a-lifetime experience. She and 5 other LiningUp.net members spent a day in Hollywood pouring cement, blow-torching Carrie Fisher's name-plate, cutting out the star, and signing their names - all while spreading TONS of glitter in and around Carrie Fisher's Star. Be sure to watch the video podcast above to see photos that correspond to her descriptions. It's absolutely fascinating.

416: Sci-Fi Costumes with Augusta Avallone - Obi-Wan Kenobi, Loki, and Star Trek Picard Apr 20, 2023

Show notes

Augusta Avallone is a treasure-trove of sci-fi costume knowledge, and a talented seamstress! She worked in the costume departments of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Trek Picard S3, and Loki. She also hosts a great panel, "History of Sci-Fi Costumes" which we saw at WonderCon and she tours around to many conventions. Costumes speak to the audience and tell them exactly what you need to know about characters. From natural fabrics and armor to lamé and spandex, science fiction has a rich history in the manner characters are represented. We learn about this history, and dive deep into the costume departments of all the shows she's worked on.

Then, we take a turn and talk about Augusta's second career - as a Burlesque dancer! This is quite the episode.

Tuesday, April 18 was the first Disneyland After Dark Throwback Nite - celebrating the 1950's and 60's of Disneyland. Richard and Sarah share their experience - would they do it again? Listen and find out!

414: Jabba the Hutt Sculptor John Coppinger Apr 05, 2023

Show notes

If behind-the-scenes stories are your jam, listen to this fantastic discussion with Jabba the Hutt sculptor, John Coppinger! When you first saw Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi, did you have an instant reaction to his look? We can thank John Coppinger for being an intrinsic part of that response. He also puppeteered Jabba's eyes on set every chance he got. What amazing stories! John also came back to work on, and perform, many characters in The Phantom Menace. His resume includes the first three Harry Potter films, The Fifth Element, The Dark Crystal and more.

You can even meet John Coppinger and get his autograph at Boonta Eve - the pre-Celebration Bash in London on April 6. Many thanks to Spencer Jawitz and Frank Rich for this discussion!

Show notes

Jason W. Christman, Star Wars artist, joins us to talk about the Celebration Art Show at Star Wars Celebration Europe. If you like The Empire Strikes Back, probe droids, and a snowy Hoth landscape then Jason has the print for you - "We Have a Visitor"!

Martin Keeler, Jed Shepherd, and Mark Hamilton make us SUPER jealous of this amazing event happening April 9th in London. So many Star Wars celebrities, so many bands! Tickets available here.

Show notes

Frazer Diamond, Star Wars Jawa, shares stories from the set! Frazer played the Jawa who freaked out C-3PO in the Sandcrawler, and is also the son of Original Trilogy stunt coordinator, the legendary Peter Diamond (Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Princess Bride, Star Wars). So he has double the stories to share! He will be signing at Boonta Eve in London on April 6th. Thanks to Spencer Jawitz and Frank Rich for helping to set up our conversation.

Disneyland update! Mickey's Toontown reopened with refreshed land, food and attractions. We took Bo-Katan and tell you all about it! Be sure to check out our instagram Reels for all the fun. Indiana Jones attraction also reopened after a months-long closure, and we…tried to ride… Listen for how that story went!

411: Candid Stories from the Star Wars sets with Alan Flyng Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

It is always exciting to speak with someone involved in the original Star Wars trilogy who can give us first-hand stories of what it was really like to work on these epic films. Alan Fying was a Stormtrooper, Snowtrooper, and a Hoth Soldier in The Empire Strikes Back, and an Imperial Officer in Return of the Jedi. He shares never-before-heard, knock-your-socks-off stories about the making of Star Wars. If you see him signing autographs at Boonta Eve on April 6th, think up a fun question - Alan will give you a fun answer!

Thanks to Spencer Jawitz and Frank Rich for helping to set up our conversation with Alan. Thank you to Simon Wilkie (C-3P0) for the birthday message.

Read an article about Alan from author Eric Onkenhout.
