GET TO KNOW A FAN WHO WOULD LOVE TO DRIVE ONE OF THE EMPIRE’S MOST POWERFUL VEHICLES.
At Celebration Chicago, Montie had the chance to make another Star Wars memory when actor Sam Witwer (voice of Darth Maul in Star Wars animated series and Solo: A Star Wars Story) visited the Rancho Obi-Wan booth where he was working as a volunteer. “I actually got to meet him right here!” Montie explained with joy in the midst of the exhibit display.
Of course, Star Wars fans come from everywhere, and for Montie that’s one of the best things about this fandom. “No matter where you are, you will always find a Star Wars fan,” he says. “I met someone wearing a T-shirt at the Trevi Fountain in Rome. In Greece I found someone with a Star Wars hat at the Parthenon. And back here in the United States I’m always seeing decals on cars. We represent the whole world. No one can stop the Force once it’s in your blood.”
An active volunteer in his own community in Chicago, Montie helps put on charity events, sometimes even with a Star Wars theme. He’s also been inspired by fellow fans like the proud members of the 501st Legion costuming club. “I remember the first time I heard of the 501st back in 2002,” he explains. “It was amazing to see a group of fans like myself doing good for the community.” In recognition of his own charitable work, Montie was made an honorary member of the Midwest Garrison.
Star Wars fans are a worldwide family. Gatherings like Celebration are an opportunity to pick up where old friendships left off and to start entirely new ones. “The one thing we have in common is Star Wars,” says Montie. “It’s all about the stories we share with each other, from our first experiences to right here today.” In short, to Montie, Star Wars means “friends and family.”

Interview With The Creators of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
on July 27, 2019 at 12:00 pmPosted In: News
Via Lonelyplanet.com:
In May, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened at Disneyland in California. It’s set to open in August at Walt Disney World in Florida. The setting for this new theme park land is Black Spire Outpost on the fictional planet of Batuu. We sat down with some of the creators and designers of Batuu and discussed what went into the place-making of this new planet.
Scott Trowbridge, Portfolio Creative Executive and Studio Leader for Walt Disney Imagineering said when tasked with building Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, one of the first decisions was to create an entirely new, never-before-seen planet. Guests now have the opportunity to become a character and part of the story.
Walt Disney Imagineering collaborated with Lucasfilm Ltd., to create a planet that feels like it has been a part of the Star Wars story forever. Doug Chiang, Vice President and Executive Creative Director, Lucasfilm Ltd., discussed what went into creating this new world, with its influences from Istanbul and Marrakesh to Arizona.
Q: What’s it like to design a real place that’s not a movie set?
Chiang: One of the great challenges and joys we had was designing and building a real location. When you’re designing movie sets, they’re false – because that’s movie making. You’re experiencing a place from a very specific point of view of the director. Here, the point of view is you. So the challenge is how do you design a space that’s so immersive, that’s real?

LIMITED RUN GAMES – SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE AND THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK CARTRIDGE RERELEASES

DUST OFF YOUR N64, NES, AND GAME BOY, AND GET READY TO OWN A PIECE OF VIDEO-GAME HISTORY.
Josh Fairhurst: I’m probably not much older than you. I’m 32, so the N64 was a pretty big console for me. I could have played some of the older games, but my family never really had good computers, so every time I’d get a Star Wars game for PC expecting to be able to play, my computer would never run it. So Shadows of the Empire was my first time actually getting to play a fully 3D, real Star Warsgame, and kind of getting engrossed in that universe in video-game form. Which was huge for me, as a fan of the movies.
I wasn’t very good at that game as a kid; I’m much better at it now. So most of my memories of Shadows of the Empire revolve around just playing that Hoth sequence over and over and over again, ’cause I was just miserably bad at any levels beyond that. But I loved going through Echo Base and taking down the AT-ATs. I have very fond memories of that game, because it was an early launch-window N64 title, and there weren’t a whole lot of games to play on the system at the time. I probably played that game for like a hundred hours.

Star Wars Episode 9 Includes A Final Shot That Will “melt your mind”
on July 22, 2019 at 5:00 pmPosted In: News
Via Gamesradar.com:
Not only will the final scene of Star Wars Episode 9 mark an end to the Skywalker saga, it will also “melt your mind.” At least, that’s according to Kevin Smith, of Jay and Silent Bob fame, who managed to get out to the Rise of Skywalker set to witness the Star Wars team filming the finale. Even director JJ Abrams is reportedly openly excited about the last shot – which hopefully bodes well after seeing how well he stuck the landing in the dying seconds of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
During an interview with IGN, Kevin Smith said the recent trip nearly clued him in on the big finale: “[The crew] were like ‘You have to see [this set], and when you see it, it’ll melt your mind.’” Abrams, though, warded off Smith’s curiosity – because it was the very last shot of the movie. According to Smith, Abrams explained that, “You don’t want this spoiled. You want to be in a theater when this happens, trust me.”
Whatever it was the team were filming, however, remains a mystery. Smith chose to avoid spoilers, and the rest of us are left wondering just what could be in those final few seconds of Star Wars Episode 9.
We’ll have to wait until December 20 to find out what was happening at the Pinewood set in London but, as Abrams says, you’ll want to find it out for yourself.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge – Guide to Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities
on July 22, 2019 at 1:44 pmPosted In: News
Via Polygon.com:
Disney’s Galaxy’s Edge is a remarkable place, designed from top to bottom to bring the world of Star Wars to life. Even the cast members who work there are in on the action, role-playing as residents of the planet Batuu.
The highlight of my first trip to Disney Parks’ largest-ever themed land was a visit to Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, a combination souvenir shop and Star Wars museum. I was expecting a sort of TGI Friday’s experience, with ephemera bolted haphazardly to the walls. But what I found inside was so much more elaborate and thoughtful than I could have possibly imagined.
I consider myself a pretty knowledgeable fan of the Star Wars universe, both old and new. Nevertheless, many of the items in Dok-Ondar’s collection confounded me. I spent the last few weeks tracking down information about as many of those items as I could find. I’ve read all the comics, studied all the movies, and even dug deep into the abandoned lore from old tabletop and video games. Hopefully my efforts to identify these items enhances your own trip to a galaxy far, far away.
