Episode 21 - STAR WARS: A Space Odyssey - Week 1!

We're headed to ICCCon! To celebrate we're exploring the ties between the two most landmark motion pictures of all time. This week we're focusing on not only 2001's influence on George Lucas in conceiving STAR WARS, but also the influence on other key members of the crew soon to be legends themselves, and the crossover of legendary artists who worked on both!

Plus: Marcia is full of beans, Mayhew's magnetic meat jaws, and how to launch an astromech in a large condom.

Featuring the voices of George Lucas, Mark Hamill, Steven Spielberg, Ben Burtt, Dennis Muren, Phil Tippett, Dan O'Bannon, Caleb Deschanel, Ron Howard, John Dykstra, Joe Johnston, Lorne Peterson, Brian Johnson, Stuart Freeborn, Colin Arthur, Peter Mayhew, and Neil Scanlan.
