We get our first look at a scene from the upcoming series STAR WARS: ANDOR and we break it down. Marcia Lucas recently broke her silence about how her marriage with George Lucas unraveled on ICONS UNEARTHED: STAR WARS. We review her comments. Baby Belushi and The Babu Freaks gathered in Joliet, Illinois for the first ever Blues Brothers Con. Hear all about it! Plus, we look back at the excitement surrounding the release of the first trailer for THE PHANTOM MENACE, and learn which STAR WARS novel made Jimmy Mac go blind.

So much new info about George Lucas’s legendary special effects company has been revealed via new documentary series like “Light and Magic” and “Icons Unearthed: Star Wars”. In 1978, George moved ILM from Southern California up north to San Rafael into a facility on Kerner Blvd, where it stayed until 2005. Thanks to veteran filmmaker Sean House, RFR was recently allowed access to this former home of ILM and important location of film history. This is the place where STAR WARS special effects from EMPIRE to REVENGE OF THE SITH were created, not to mention RAIDERS, E.T., Jurassic Park and so many more groundbreaking films. It’s still in use today as 32Ten Studios and still creating amazing effects. Effects wiz Sean House joins us to talk about his career, his history with ILM and shares behind-the-scenes stories you’ve never heard before about working with George Lucas and Rick McCallum. Thanks to the help of loyal RFR listeners, Jason has solved his problem with Star Wars action figures falling down. We also talk about newer action figure releases from Black Series to Retro Vintage and more.
