For those of you who have been following my Comic-Con coverage, you know that I was collecting interviews pertaining to Star Wars, both audio and video.
My first audio interview was with Lucasfilm's head of fan relations and author of The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia Steve Sansweet.
We talked about a lot of things, mainly Star Wars. We did dip into Indiana Jones a little bit. We talked about how the Star Wars Encyclopedia was written, how he came to work for Lucasfilm, what he does exactly and there are a lot of juicy news tidbits in there.
Star Wars Celebration V was discussed and they really don't have a solid date or place yet, but it will happen in Summer 2010 for the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back.
We also talked about the Blu-ray treatment of Star Wars and what we might be seeing on the Ultimate Box Set of all Six Star Wars movies. There was also talk about what behind the scenes documentaries form the past we might be seeing on a digital format. (I'm transcribing that portion of the interview for another article that I'll be posting shortly.)
The Geek Show Podcast was kind enough to host my interview on their iTunes, for the full 15 minute interview, click this link.
I would also urge you all to subscribe to that podcast. In addition to my appearances as a guest panelist now and again, The Geek Show is one of the best sources of geek news and debate in a podcast format.
