96. A Look Back At The Annual 2019: An Unforgettable Collectors Weekend! (Part 3) Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

This episode is a personal favorite of mine. After recording a roundtable collectors discussion with seven friends on the final evening of the Annual 2019 weekend, our epic night was just beginning. It was a raucous adventure, filled with wildly funny moments, and some really memorable ones as well. And it was the perfect ending to one of the best collector trips I’ve experienced as a Star Wars fan. Join me, David Quinn, for the third and final part in a series on the 2019 Annual collectors event in Fishkill, New York. Collectors Brian Angel, Justin Haynie, Jenn Thunders, Matt George, Trent Bailey, Kori Bailey and Bill Cable are coming along for the ride, and we’re ending the Annual trip in style! And special thanks to The Vintage Rebellion co-host Richard Hutchinson for sharing his experience from that wonderful, unforgettable weekend.

Show notes

During the Labor Day weekend of 2019, Star Wars collectors traveled to Fishkill, New York for the exciting inaugural event known as The Annual. The Annual, hosted by the Empire State Star Wars Collectors Club, was a celebration of all things Star Wars, and highlighted the best parts of collecting and the community. On the last night of The Annual, eight friends assembled for an impromptu conversation to recap the wonderful event and to discuss life as collectors and the lasting power of friendship. What began as a 20-minute podcast conversation turned into a two-hour roundtable, kicking off an epic night! Join host David Quinn for a funny and meaningful chat with Atlanta's very own Han-and-Leia duo Justin Haynie and Jenn Thunders, Nashville's kindest couple Trent Bailey and Kori Bailey (same last name, different parents), Pennsylvania's C-3PO fanatic Bill Cable, Texas' Empire Engineer Matt George, and California's R5-D4 aficionado Brian Angel!

87. Ewan’s Return: How The Idea For An Obi-Wan Kenobi Film Transformed Into A Disney+ Miniseries! May 27, 2022

Show notes

“Will you return to play Obi-Wan again?” That was the question that plagued Ewan McGregor for years, as Lucasfilm began to release Star Wars films in the Disney era. Fans clamored to see McGregor don the Jedi Robes again, and to portray the beloved character from George Lucas’ prequel trilogy. Behind the scenes, Lucasfilm had been working on a standalone Kenobi film, similar to 2016’s Rogue One and 2018’s SOLO. And over time, that idea for a film morphed into an offering for the small screen: the recently released Obi-Wan Kenobi series, on the Disney+ streaming service. This is the fascinating story behind that transition. Join host David Quinn as he explores some of the earliest rumors and rumblings, the exciting film announcement in 2017, and the reason behind the shift to a miniseries in 2019, capped off by the return of the Jedi Master, seventeen years later after Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
