Today is my conversation with legendary prequel concept artist, Warren Fu, live from South by Southwest 2024.
We dive into Warren’s incredible contributions to these movies, including MagnaGuards, The High Republic's vector ships, and, of course, General Grievous. From there, we take a deep dive into his wildly prolific music video career, and especially his work with Daft Punk. This is such an incredible conversation and may truly be my favorite interview yet.
Thank you so much again to Warren for his time and flexibility while he was in Austin, and allowing me to come to his hotel armed with art books and action figures for reference. His incredible portfolio can be found here.
A huge thank you, as well, to Li-Wei from Partizan for helping coordinate this, and an EXTRA huge thanks to guest producer Alyssa Vidales, who absolutely crushed it and helped make this live recording go super smoothly

Last week, it was reported that Bill Hargreaves had passed away. Of course, Mr. Hargreaves was known to Star Wars fans as the father of IG-88, as well as prop maker and droid creator for EV-9D9, probots, B’omarr monks, and mynocks.
This conversation features Bill's start working on Alien all the way to his tortuous coat hanger creation for Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Rest in peace.

Over the weekend, Mark Dodson passed away. He is best known to Star Wars fans as the laugh of Salacious B. Crumb, as well as the voice of Teek from The Battle for Endor. He was brought back as a patron of Maz Kanata's cantina for Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens.
I was able to chat with him years ago at a convention, one of my first interviews ever. That video can be found on YouTube.
His New York Times obituary can be found here. Rest in peace and may the Force be with you.

Today is a very special episode, featuring my conversation with ILM Creature Shop legend Judy Elkins. Judy is responsible for many iconic designs and sculptures for Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, including the infamous Yak Face.
This summer, I was honored to spend the day with her in Austin, Texas, as we went around to different museums and sculpture gardens that had inspired her while growing up, including the Elizabet Ney Museum and the Umlauf Sculpture Garden (where the works of her professor, Charles Umlauf, are on display). We also visited the gorgeous Littlefield Fountain on the University of Texas campus, that especially inspired her and her creature designing.
Some of those recordings are in this interview, spliced into our larger conversation about her incredible career. Photos and captions of the art we discussed can be found on our website.
Spending the day with her was so inspiring and one of my favorite memories of last year, as well as this entire podcast.

Today is a very special episode of TB94 because it does not feature any cast, crew, or creator interviews ... it is a look back at the year 2023 with my friends from Blast Points and Skytalkers.
Jason and Gabe and Charlotte and Caitlin are some of my best friends in this space, so it was such a joy to reflect on the year (including our crazy adventures at Star Wars Celebration London and the Indiana Jones 5 premiere).
Thank YOU all for listening this year. It was a weird one! Not as many episodes as I would have liked, but some great guests, an awesome Celebration panel (where I got to meet so many of you in person), and some exciting stuff that will be announced in 2024!
I am grateful to all of you. See you in the new year and May the Force Be With You.

Tom Spina, the mad man behind Regal Robot, returns to the show for a third time. Because of that, we go a little wild, talking about trips to Skywalker Ranch, the archives, and the just-announced, absolutely incredible, Phil Tippett Legacy Edition of the Rancor maquette. It’s always a good time when Tom comes around.
Thank you so much again to Tom for coming on the show and waxing poetic about the incredible work him and his team at Regal Robot are doing. If I did not gush enough, they are the best around.

Today is an incredibly special episode. During Star Wars Celebration, I took a break from the show floor, headed upstairs to the convention center bar and sat down with maybe my favorite current Star Wars writer: Charles Soule.
This conversation is a true deep dive into his process, his inspirations, and his journey. Really incredible.

Today is our 150th episode and it is special because its a full recording of the LIVE official panel from Star Wars Celebration London 2023.
Making it extra special is our guest, Amy Richau, an incredible author and one of my personal biggest inspirations. She is the author of many Star Wars books, including I LOVE YOU. I KNOW. and the recently released, much-anticipated STAR WARS TIMELINES.
As a bonus, the last ten minutes of the episode include our very silly "DON'T LET ME BUY THIS ... LIVE", featuring my wife, Maggie. It's a very visual portion, so apologies in advance.
