Blast Points - Star Wars Podcast

In January 2002, Carrie Fisher met with George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch for her TV interview show Conversations From The Edge. The result is the single greatest George Lucas interview ever made. This week Jason & Gabe are guiding you through this amazing moment in history as we examine every gripping topic Carrie brings up. What's Lucas' flirting technique? What bands did he see in the 60's? What high school sports did he play? And has he ever been to a make out party? Carrie wanted to know and so do we. Tune in & find out! PLUS: Untitled Star Wars movies have release dates!? What's happening with that? Did the cover to The Art of The Rise of Skywalker almost kill us? YES! Are we still alive to talk about it? Maybe!
