Something I look forward to each Wednesday is starwars.com’s news magazine series “The Star Wars Show.”
The series debuted May 11, 2016. It is hosted by Andi Gutierrez and Anthony Carboni, and offers behind-the-scenes tidbits, interviews, and features about “Star Wars” collectibles.
This week Anthony Carboni interviewed Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige (in anticipation of this week’s release of “Avengers: Infinity War”). The MCU honcho is my age, and grew up loving the “Star Wars” franchise.
Feige talked about the “dark times” as a collector of SW merch when JusToy’s Bend-Ems line of action figures was one of the few licensed properties available in the early 1990s (I have a couple storage totes full of those figures in individual packages and collector sets — which included a Topps “Star Wars” trading card).
In addition to the interview with Kevin Feige, there is a feature on a Millennium Falcon made out of red Solo cups, and a blurb about “Solo: A ‘Star Wars’ Story.”
You can watch “The Star Wars Show” on starwars.com, or via the Star Wars YouTube channel. Here is this week’s episode:
Speaking of “Solo,” my brother-in-law Neil and his family rooted all around Walt Disney World week before last seeking one of the exclusive Star Wars: Force For Change t-shirts available at Disney Parks.
The shirts are available through May 25 (the opening date for “Solo: A ‘Star Wars’ Story”) and I am very thankful they were able to find one for me...!
