Hey welcome to episode 50 of Lighten Up with Melanie Dale. 50! We've made it to 50, guys, and I'm so excited that for the 50th episode I get to share my conversation with Chewbacca Mom Candace Payne with you. We've all seen her viral Facebook video wearing the Chewbacca mask, and it's impossible not to laugh right along with her. We do a lot of laughing together on the show, and talk about her happy Chewbacca tattoo, her lofty goal before she turns 40 (hint: it involves Michael Jackson's "Thriller"), being on the Late Late Show with James Corden, and her theories about The Last Jedi. We also chat about her faith journey, experiencing homelessness as a child, her new book, Laugh It Up, and how we can embrace defiant joy in the middle of hard times.

The heart of this episode is a fun interview with Star Wars veteran voice actress Cat Taber. Learn about her experience on The Force Awakens, and even though her name is "Cat", she may just love dogs. It's summer and the Force has awakened at Disney World. The new Star Wars fireworks may not begin until June 17th, but you will find them on this month's episode of Fangirls Going Rogue. The discussion kicks off with Teresa Delgado asking Tricia Barr and Sarah Woloski their thoughts on the Rogue One re-shoots. Luckily we'll know more about the movie come July when Celebration Europe happens. Tricia offers more news on her appearances at the convention, including a panel Friday on the STEM Heroes and Heroines of Star Wars! There was a lot of love Chewbacca Mom Candace Payne and the new Star Wars Show at starwars.com. Not only did J.J. Abrams blow Chewbacca Mom's mind by a personal visit, he spoke to young female filmmakers this month. Dave Filoni told guests at the National Conference on Woman and IT about how he has worked to include the presence of women in Star Wars. While things are looking up for women in storytelling, Geena Davis reminds everyone that the numbers still haven't improved since 1946 and that we need to keep speaking up about diversity. Listeners wanted to know our hopes and dreams for Star Wars Rebels Season 3. Tune in to find out what we think! The character discussion asks questions about the Inquisitors.
