We are still shaking from ANDOR’s “One Way Out.” So much to discuss! So get “On-Program” and join us as we share our current thoughts on episode 10, as well as a hugely informative roundtable interview with Andor’s production designer, Luke Hull, and costume designer, Michael Wilkinson. What went into the productio design of Coruscant vs. the Prison vs. Luthen’s Antiquities? How do you create a character’s personal space? How close did you want to get to the original Star Wars? Why the white on white color scheme for the prison? Luke Hull’s production design sketches:       We have our other Roundtable participants to thank for some amazing questions beyond our own:  Jedi News; Fantha Tracks; Triad of the Force; That Gay Jedi; Star Wars Explained; Skywalking through Neverland; Talking Bay; Around the Galaxy; Ahch-To Radio.   Today in Star Wars History, Part 2 NOW AVAILABLE     Autographed Edition with bag, bookmark and limited edition button     Check out these SKYwalking NETwork Podcasts:   Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics - Delving into each issue of the Star Wars comic series 1977-1986 The Max EFX Podcast - Chronicling the 35-year Special Effects film career of Max Cervantes Neverland Clubhouse - Two sisters, and best friends, sharing Disney adventuresTalking Apes - focusing on the original Planet of the Apes films and TV shows Totally Tell Me Everything - Two ladies, one topic, three questions.

Return of the Jedi artist Marilee Heyer joins us in her podcasting debut to share some amazing stories! In 1982, Marilee was hired to “pretty things up” on the upcoming Star Wars sequel, Revenge of the Jedi. Thanks to a sfgate.com article written by Andrew Pridgen, we now know that her artwork for the film had not been properly credited. Now with even more of her art resurfacing on comic covers and Art Of… books, we thought it was the perfect time to hear her story and thank her for her contribution to Star Wars.   Marilee Heyer's Facebook Page   Today in Star Wars History, Part 2 NOW AVAILABLE     Autographed Edition with bag, bookmark and limited edition button     Check out these SKYwalking NETwork Podcasts:   Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics - Delving into each issue of the Star Wars comic series 1977-1986 The Max EFX Podcast - Chronicling the 35-year Special Effects film career of Max Cervantes Neverland Clubhouse - Two sisters, and best friends, sharing Disney adventuresTalking Apes - focusing on the original Planet of the Apes films and TV shows Totally Tell Me Everything - Two ladies, one topic, three questions.
