That’s right, the worlds best web series,
as judged by ourselves, is out there in the
01:47
larger world spreading the good word about
ourselves with a massive sign in the middle
01:50
Man I’ll tell ya, everybody in LA is just
talking about this sign.
01:54
It’s all I hear about in LA.
01:58
So much so we sent our good friend Matt Lieb
out on to the streets to talk to normal people
02:00
about their favorite short form variety series,
The Star Wars Show.
02:04
You are watching the Star Wars Show.
02:09

02:17
Hey you guys like Star Wars?
02:24
C’mon you wanna talk about Star Wars though?
02:25

02:31

02:34
WHAAAAA Emmy ballot was not so far away

02:37
Congratulations

02:43
Have you heard of Star Wars Show?
02:45
It’s on the Internet
No
02:48
At some point we’re actually going to find
someone that has actually seen the show.
02:54
I hope you find them.
02:55
Any of you guys members of the television
academy?
02:56
Oh Hollywood Blvd. it’s like Comic Con all
the time here.
02:58
Do you ever watch Star Wars?
03:03
I do, I’ve watched every film.
03:05
Every day is Star Wars with him.
03:06
Hi Charles, I’m Matt.
03:12
I know, I’ve watched.
03:13
I watch it on YouTube sometimes.
03:17
My boys do watch it.
03:19
I watched like one of them, you know what
I mean?
03:20
And when I watched it, I liked it.
03:22
I think you guys are going to win the Emmy.
03:24
Who doesn’t love Star Wars?
03:26
That’s a lot of Jedi words up there for
you bro
03:27
I gotta soak this in for a second because
this feels really good.
03:30
Hashtag Star Wars Show!
03:34
I think he’s heading for that small moon.
03:36
Everybody, say hi to my friend Jason Fry.
03:40
Who has written countless Star Wars books
and is working on the upcoming novelization
03:43
of The Last Jedi which we can’t really talk
about.
03:47
So we’ll start talking about things I use
all the time.
03:49
Your reference books.
03:52
What’s that process like different from
writing a novel or a short story or narrative
03:53
Both amazing amounts of fun.
04:00
It’s still storytelling but it’s storytelling
with a different goal.
04:01
Instead of following characters along through
plots etc.
04:05
You’re really looking at the stuff in the
background but the idea is the same.
04:08
We’re still supporting the story whether
is giving people more insight to what might
04:12
be happening just off screen or sometimes
just having a whole lot more lore for people
04:16
who love Star Wars to dive into.
04:22
Do you have a favorite?
04:24
Because there’s gotta be some fun stuff
that I haven’t even seen.
04:25
How many hours do we have?
04:29
This was Pablo Hidalgo and I got up to this.
04:32
Looking at Han and Chewie’s bulk freighter
in The Force Awakens which I also got to name.
04:35
Which was pretty amazing.
04:40
I can’t believe it!
04:43
The Eravana has all these cargo containers
and things stuck to it.
04:44
Some of which we find out include Rathtars
and stuff you don’t want loose.
04:49
There’s all this other stuff we never got
to see.
04:52
Pablo and I were like there’s this one container
that they’ve never been able to get into
04:54
that they don’t know what it is.
04:58
And we actually used the serial number on
the crate at the end of Raiders of the Lost
04:59
That was easily my favorite.
05:05
Anything in the works right now while we’re
coming up to Episode 8, The Last Jedi?
05:06
My friend Kemp Remillard and I are working
on the vehicles book for Episode 8 which has
05:09
I’m also doing a really fun book called
“Bomber Man” it’s a companion book to
05:16
Elizabeth Wien’s “Cobalt Squadron”.
05:21
I’m really looking forward to that one.
05:23
I love Rose already.
05:25
I don’t know anything about her and I just
want to know everything about her.
05:26
No I feel the same way.
05:28
I love thee characters and in that book we
are doing things like telling stories of Rose
05:29
and some of her comrades in this war.
05:34
But that’s also been terrific moving ahead
writing The Last Jedi: The Adult Novelization,
05:36
Thank you
That’s must be an insane undertaking.
05:46
But it’s a great challenge.
05:50
Just think about that and think about how
you can support the story that we’re all
05:51
going to see on the screen.
05:55
I mean that’s a great challenge and I’m
really enjoying it but at the same time I
05:56
always flash back to being 8 years old and
holding the gold Del Rey original Star Wars
06:01
novelization and forcing myself to slow down
because I was reading it so fast.
06:07
And now, amazingly I get to be a part of that
tradition.
06:12
Well I can’t wait to read the novelization
it’s going to be so much fun.
06:18
Thank you for coming by.
06:20
These would run 2 grand or so
This looks like a plug on your grandma’s
06:25
lamp
Oh and he’s squishy!?
06:30
Hi I’m Max and this is Lucas and we are
here at one of Lucasfilm’s top secret storage
06:33
units full of all kinds of cool stuff.
06:38
Including vintage collectibles of all sorts.
06:40
Lucas, let’s go root through some junk.
06:43
So if you um, I don’t know, invented Microsoft
or something in the 90s you could wind up
06:48
with one of these in your living room.
06:52
This is the Don Post life-size Stormtrooper.
06:53
These would run back then around 2 grand or
so and Don Post was one of the first early
06:55
A lot of the 501st, their first helmet was
a Don Post helmet.
07:00
Now if the budget for a Stormtrooper wasn’t
doable you could also get something smaller
07:03
like this R2-D2
When Don Post first starting sending these
07:08
high-end replicas out, it was often the only
thing you could get at this scale of this
07:11
Oooooh what do we got here?
07:17
This feels like we’re moving stones from
some sort of ancient architecture.
07:21
This is Gentle Giant Yoda.
07:24
Oh and he talks too!
07:25
Normally when you handle a lightsaber you
shouldn’t grab it by the blade.
07:27
Oh here is something that fetches a hefty
sum no matter where you are in the galaxy.
07:31
See where it’s from!
07:38
The Elusive original timeless collectible
from the Lucasfilm archive collection is certified
07:39
as one of the limited edition of only 25 pieces
that was created by Mario Shinto using original
07:43
molds from the Lucasfilm archives.
07:49
Now, we came here for a lot of reasons but
really we came here for one reason and that
07:51
is to open the tomb of Jar Jar Binks.
07:55
Now, ancient Star Wars collectors would insert
a hook through the nose to remove the brain
08:05
and the entrails preserving the body for good.
08:12
This was a Pepsi promotional item.
08:16
The tomb of Jar Jar.
08:18
Okay so that’s really cool.
08:22
There’s so much more stuff in there that
we can’t wait to show you.
08:23
What was your favorite part?
08:25
No no don’t tell them, they have to tune
in next time to see more.
08:26
I cannot believe we have a Jar Jar
He is so beautiful
08:30
This is like, the best thing we could’ve
ever done.
08:34
We can do so many things with him!
08:36
Speaking of, we want to know what sort of
Jar Jar pranks we can play in the office with
08:38
our newfound friend.
08:42
Send in your ideas using the hashtag #JarJarPranks
and you might see them in a future episode.
08:43

video, subscribe to the channel, Follow us
08:48
on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
08:51
Thanks for watching, and may the force be
with you.
08:53
Now that we’re together, I’m never going
to let you go.
08:55
Why are there so many Star Wars?
08:59
Because there was 9 books to the original
story.
09:02
That sounds….wrong.
09:05
You need to ask George Lucas.
09:06
He wrote the books.
09:08
I’m positive that’s not right.
09:09
