For May the 4th it's Homestead keeping, a regular segment within most of the base shows, but since there was a bunch of little bits I've recorded over the past few weeks, as Mandalorian came to a close, it made since to coming them into one show, as we get closer to the Galaxy Anniversary show, which wouldn't have much more room, as it will be crammed with awesome interviews from a good group of folks. On the program: David Nicely Jenny Riddle Kara DJ Sam Tashima Romeo Ortiz David Nicely Instagram @dln619 Jenny Riddle 501st Alabama Garrison http://www.empirestrikesbama.com Tranquility Base https://rebellegion.com/tranquility-base/ Star Wars CCG Players Council & Card Resources https://www.starwarsccg.org Kara DJ Into a Larger world Fanzine https://campsite.bio/intoalargerworldbykara Sam Tashima Instagram @tashi_station Romeo Ortiz Instagram @rpg_la @vintagestarwarsclub @gonktoys https://linktr.ee/gonktoys?fbclid=PAAabrtG3JDvNyMRPdofW3JQh9Lp-TDMLd56UvSCMlfy8byIQC95Aec31yLGA Huntsville Comic & Pop Culture Expo https://www.hsvexpo.com In this show, as you heard from the intro, I spent a little time at the Huntsville Comic & Pop Culture Expo in Huntsville, Alabama. I got to catch up with Franc and Amy Mulder as well as finally meeting one of the members of Card Squadron, David Nicely, who was on the program, waaaayyy back in episode 59. In addition to David, I talked with Jenny Riddle, a cosplayer from the Rebel Legion at Tranquilty Base in Alabama who was trooping with the 501st members of the Alabama Garrison. They had a nice display with some droids from the local Droidbuilder chapter. Kara DJ stops by for a minute on the program. The driving force behind the ‘Into a Larger World' Fanzine. Kara was on the program in episode 103. She gives a nice overview of her time in London at Celebration Europe and a little news on the next issues of the zine, due out later this year. Sam Tashima, our roving Star Wars CCG player and reporter also drops by to give us an overview of the 2023 Nationals held in Minnesota not long ago, and some dates for the upcoming tourneys for the classic Decipher card game, that is driven by the Players committee. Finally, since we are celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi later this month, the film was re-released back in a selection of theaters. Many of you in the community did have a chance to see it and was lucky enough to find some time myself. Romeo Ortiz, from the Vintage Star Wars club has been doing some cool video interviews for his instagram channel and while we were doing another segment, I rolled tape on our conversation of seeing the film back on the big screen.

Hot on the heels of Episode 18 we bring you even more Leia Organa magic and a large sprinkling of Leia Bespin and Leia Endor. The show jumps straight in with another brilliant interview with the ever friendly Bruce White. Bruce has a truly wonderful collection of Princess Leia Vintage collectables from carded figures and Proofs to some fascinating Beyond the Toys merchandise. Bruce also introduces Jez to Carrie Fisher's staring role on Saturday Night Live... Obi-Wan Kenobi, Obi-Wan Kenobi (if you know, you know). Joined once again by our resident expert from the Star Wars Collectors Archive, Ron Salvatore gives a fascinating insight into the origins of Leia Organa in Bespin Gown, which leads to a really interesting fact on Blue Snaggletooth and Bossk. He also drops hints about what Leia card art "brings out the Lando in him"! Mark Andrews and Jamie Acott from the Variant Villains give us a great rundown of Leia Endor variations. A really interesting insight into the world of variations which is explained in a really digestible format. These guys really know their stuff with regards to the figures and the accessories.
