    Martin Smith StarWarsifies Kilimanjaro Safaris

    On Chapter 4 of Living with the Landspeeder, we StarWarsified Kilimanjaro Safaris at the Animal Kingdom park at Walt Disney World with our special guest Martin Smith of the Heroes of the Halcyon podcast! Martin also cosplays as "Jorg Sacul" who is a holo film director in the Star Wars universe specifically during the time and events around the Galactic Starcruiser. One of the reasons for this is that Martin bears a striking resemblance to Star Wars director, George Lucas. Ryan and Martin recently returned from Batuu and the Halcyon, so we talked a lot about their trip and generally about the experience without giving away any spoilers. One of the great things about this cruise was that the Heroes coordinated an event to raise money for the Make a Wish charity! For the main event, we each created a new version of the Safari attraction, and somehow we continued our streak of not sharing the same idea! And what ride is complete without a gift shop or nearby restaurant? From Batuu to Endor, we cover all sorts of Star Wars creatures, vehicles and action that will make this one of the best episodes yet!

    In Chapter 3 of Living with the Landspeeder, Ryan, Derek and Catron welcome the amazing voice actor James Arnold Taylor -- Obi-Wan himself -- to StarWarsify Pirates of the Caribbean at Walt Disney World! In our versions of the ride, you might visit Dagobah or the mines of Mandalore, or you may go on an adventure with characters from Rebels or the High Republic. James is known for his work with many voices in the Star Wars universe (and hundreds of other projects that are not Star Wars) but he's most famously known as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the animated series and video games. Of course we talked about Star Wars, but we also heard about his latest project, a documentary called Hidden Blessings. This is an episode you won't want to miss!
