Great episode! I especially enjoyed your short interviews. It’s great to learn more about our all the people who help create the Star Wars TV shows and movies. These folks have so much talent, passion, hard work, and a little luck!

Brother, congratulations on being recognized by the SW community for all your hard work. What an amazing event and having the opportunity to see and speak to so many great people! PS. Send me your plastic models, and I will assemble and paint them for you!

Leilani is a sweetheart. Very talented too. I was impressed with her performance as a Jawa. It was nice to meet her at a card collectors' convention here in Las Vegas last year. She really cares about the legacy of Star Wars and especially about the fans. Very generous with her time at conventions from my own experience as well as what I've heard from others who have been lucky to meet her. I know a few guys who are in the 501st here in Las Vegas and it's been interesting to see how they make their amazing Stormtrooper and Scouttrooper armor. Very nice guys who do a lot for the community. R2D2 has always been my favorite Star Wars character with C3PO being a close second. If I see that Christine is going to be at an event here in Vegas, I will certainly go and talk to her about it. That would be cool! Your interviews are very good. I have always loved learning how movies are made ever since I saw the first documentary about Star Wars on VHS back in the day. I love props, special effects, stunts etc. I built some of the scale model ships back when I was a kid. I still have my X-Wing Fighter and Snowspeeder that I built. Some of them got broken while I tried to recreate scenes from the movies, but those survived. I think I spent more time pretending I was a special effects artist with my Star Wars toys than I did pretending I was the characters themselves. :) It would be awesome to go to the Prop Swap someday. I love movie making so much that the highlight of our trip to New Zealand last year was going to the Hobbiton movie set and the WETA Workshop. The rest of the country was very nice too, but those were my must see parts of the itinerary. I don't do much cosplay, but I have gone to events as a Jedi of my own design a few times. I have a dark gray, hooded bathrobe that is a little big on me so it works well for a Jedi robe. I also have one of the early versions of the build your own lightsaber kits that Radio Shack used to have. It has an aluminum base with three light settings so you can have a red, blue or green lightsaber blade. The other parts slide and snap onto the base handle so that you can design your own lightsaber style. That is fun to do. I think you'd really enjoy cosplaying as a trooper. That armor is very cool looking and you have the athletic build to be able to carry all of that around well. It's not light if you get the really good quality armor. I like the design of the AT-AT Driver a lot too. Might be a good trooper to start with.

The actors and special guests were so awesome to talk to. I really enjoyed learning more about them and what they do to prepare and how they got the roles and positions that they are in. I had a great time :)

Looked like a fun event, thanks for covering it, always cool seeing all those props fans make and their costumes, really creative. I collected some prop replicas years back when Master Replicas was still around, have a few lightsaber hilts and Han Solo's blaster that I got on sale when MR was going out of business. Have a few MR helmets as well, a Boba Fett and Commander Gree, if I could only keep one, it would be the Gree. Don't collect prop replicas anymore, as they are so expensive, and require long wait times, but I do appreciate looking at what others create or what items that do get produced.

Wow sounds like you have a pretty cool collection. I would love to start on helmets here and there and make a display of those.

@@thepadawancollectorofficial thanks. It is not a very big collection of prop replicas, but the few pieces I have, I do appreciate. I admit I am tempted on some of those Black Series helmets from time to time, and regret not getting Mando's helmet when I saw in on sale. I have 4 helmets. 2 Master Replicas (Boba Fett and Cmdr Gree) and 2 non Star Wars ( EFX BSG Colonial Warrior helmet and a Custom made Battle of the Planets Mark helmet) I hope you collect some props in the future as would be fun to see what you get, The Tie Pilot would be cool. Lots of custom builders as well making cool helmets.

Great video one of the things I like about your channel is that you show the people that play the different characters that were in the back ground or had small parts in the moviesnd also the people that created items and costumes.

Thanks Jose! Yes the behind the scenes always interests me, more so than the lore. Although, I do love that as well
