about

Dan Zehr & Jim Hill start off this week’s show by talking up “The Star Wars Book: Expand your knowledge of a galaxy far, far away” (which a certain podcaster co-wrote for DK with Pablo Hidalgo & Cole Horton). Then Jim talks about the role that the “Special Editions” of “A New Hope,” “The Empire Strikes Back,” & “Return of the Jedi” played in the creation of one of the more popular seasonal events ever to be staged at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

lyrics

Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:

What Walt Disney Home Entertainment just did to help out parents who are dealing with cranky kids who are now stuck at home thanks to COVD-19

Which stars from “Star Trek” & “Lost in Space” took part in Contact ’96, the first-ever sci-fi convention to be held at Walt Disney World

What’s special about that brief shot of Banthas that you see in Chapter 5 of “The Mandalorian”

Which highly secretive Lucasfilm project did the Imagineers learn about while they were working on the “Temple of the Forbidden Eye” ride for Disneyland Park

What’s hidden under Emperor Palpatine’s black cloak in that character’s introductory scene in “Star Wars -- Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker”
