The Lost Lucas Tapes: When George Met Robin Williams
6/19/20262 hr 7 min
A lost audio artifact has resurfaced, and it is pure pop culture gold! We're talking about the ultimate, mind-melting crossover event: George Lucas and Robin Williams going deep during the peak Attack of the Clones era.
Back in the early 2000s, George Lucas sat down with Robin Williams for a wide-ranging conversation about Star Wars and filmmaking. This full interview was removed from the internet many years ago but it has been made available again and review a few choice highlights of when The Maker met Mork.
Plus, we have clips of Brendan Wayne discussing The Mandalorian and Grogu, along with listener feedback about the Mando movie and the potential for a Cal Kestis film. And, was the quote "This Is The Way" stolen from Game of Thrones? Did Grogu once actually say "This is the way" in an episode of The Mandalorian? We break it all down and look ahead to next year's Star Wars: Starfighter with speculation about the plot, characters and more!

[upbeat music] You know, we've been doing this long enough, it's very, very difficult to surprise us. And, uh, I don't know what it is, uh, but, uh, recently, this, uh, well, I would consider it a classic, but it's a little underground, this classic interview that the late, great Robin Williams did with the flanneled one, George Lucas, back in 2000. It, it, it seems to have resurfaced. And, uh, of course, we lost Robin a number of years ago, and I think that it's only natural that people sort of scour the archives and see, well, what,
