Paul goes on to infer the show will likely never see the light of day, though there were 8 episodes filmed…
A snippet from the article:
“We got to create whatever we wanted and the cool thing was, because Disney was behind it, we got to use all the things that you could never use in life,” the comedian admitted. “Like, we could have the full Darth Vader costumes, full recreation of the Millennium Falcon, using the sound effects, using the video footage. We got to really create something that was very much in canon of Star Wars. Which, you know, is so rare to use music and video clips and stuff like that, and we got access to all of it, and then, like I said, it never aired. But there are eight episodes of it.”
He continued, “Maybe it’s for the best, I don’t know. All I’ll say is, for as much as I enjoyed it, I would imagine it would also make people incredibly upset. It definitely was not taking Star Wars seriously, at all.”
Sounds kinda fun - a lighthearted Star Wars ‘talk show’? Why the hell not? 😃 And kind of a shame that it won’t happen.
Fun and Star Wars are two things in short supply in the fandom for a few years now.
Where negatviity, monetised hate and toxicity is all the rage (pun inteneded) 😉
