Skywalking Through Neverland: A Star Wars / Disney / Marvel Fan Podcast Richard and Sarah Woloski

The Dune II Popcorn bucket made its mark on pop culture over the past month, from social media mayhem to an SNL sketch! We turned to one of its creators & former STN guest, Marcus Gonzalez (Zinc Group & former Walt Disney Co. CM), to talk about how theme park and movie theater collectibles have formed their own collecting subculture. From Disney Parks favorites like the Millennium Falcon bucket & Iron Man Infinity Gauntlet sipper to movie theater exclusives like the Dune and Dungeons & Dragons 20-sided Die Popcorn Buckets, it’s a fascinating industry and Marcus shares all the details. He even gives a tease of what’s to come for The Phantom Menace anniversary release on May 3rd.

Never Land on Alderaan!

This episode features a history of Star Wars in the Disney Parks! As we lead up to Season of the Force 2024 at the Disneyland Resort, Richard and Sarah look back at 37 years of Star Wars/Disney Parks crossovers - including the Darth Vader ballet!! We share fun facts and stories about Galaxy’s Edge, Star Tours, the first Season of the Force, Star Wars Weekends, and more!
 
We recorded this episode on April 1st, which marks Matt Lanter’s birthday! Matt Lanter voiced Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Rebels, Forces of Destiny and the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special. He also cameoed as a Republic officer named Lant Davan in The Mandalorian episode “Chapter 6 - The Prisoner.” We also love him from the amazing TV series Timeless (2016-2018). Sarah shares a fun anecdote from Star Wars Celebration 2022 in which she was twitterpated by Matt.

FTOOM FAST FACTS  
The planet of Aargau has been used in a few Star Wars short stories in 2003. These stories, Boba Fett: Maze of Deception and Aargau: For All Your Banking Needs, were found on the Wizards of the Coast website. Then Aargau found its place in the galaxy in 2009’s Star Wars: The Essential Atlas.
As for the Zug system, this was mentioned in 2006’s The New Essential Guide to Droids and 2018’s Star Wars: Complete Vehicles.   The Rigellans were also mentioned in 2003’s Aargau: For All Your Banking Needs"   Rigell 7 is a planet in Star Trek the original series. It is also the home planet of Kang and Kodos from The Simpsons. These are the one-eyed green tentacled aliens with a glass dome. Rigell 7 in The Simpsons is a reference to Star Trek, not to this issue of CMSWC.

Best way to consume this podcast: https://youtu.be/0wEf-vWejug 
Crawl out of that tauntaun, grab a cup of warm blue milk, and settle in for exciting stories about vacationing on the ice world of Hoth! On March 5, 1979, principal photography began in Finse, Norway for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Mark Newbold of Fantha Tracks visited these icy plains. He stood on the grounds where Luke Skywalker was attacked by a wampa, he walked the snowy terrain where the great AT-AT battle took place, and he got to play in the snow with Darth Vader and his Imperial troops. Here he shares his stories and some amazing pictures.
