ARP - S12 - Denver ComicCon review

 John here. I was presented with the opportunity to attend Denver ComicCon as a media outlet. Join me as I recap my time there. I have interviews with Kevin J. Anderson, Derek Fridolfs, and Ron Randle included. Also, my buddy Paul Trebilcox-Ruiz joined me on Saturday to recap his time at the convention.


I wanted to share a few pictures with you. First picture is the view from my hotel room into the city. Pretty spectacular.

My photo of Kevin J Anderson at his panel:

A couple of cosplayers dressed up as the brothers Maul:


 The Godzilla suit that will be featured in Godzilla: Heritage, a fan film that will be created here soon. I went to their panel and they are very enthusiastic for this project. The have a facebook page here,  https://www.facebook.com/GodzillaHeritage and will soon be launching a Kickstarter campaign to raise funding for their movie. I plan on donating to their campaign as they have a great plan and great people working on this project.



That was all the pictures that I took while there at the convention. If you would like to download the episode, right click and Save As

ARP - 20 - The Star Wars

John here. As a teenager I was in love with anything Star Wars. I waited in line to get Episode I tickets in 1999 like so many others. When I heard that Dark Horse was publishing The Star Wars comic series that brings a rough draft of the original story to the page, I was waiting patiently for the story to be released. Now that the final issue is out, Dylan and I tackle this story and see what was different in this original version and what was the same. Join us as we discuss this peek into the past of a classic sci-fi franchise.





Before we go further, I'd like to point out a couple corrections i noticed when editing:

1) I forgot to mention IG-88 when talking about the bounty hunters. He was not in this story, but was on the bridge of the Executor with the other bounty hunters in Empire Strikes Back
2) I said the vote of no confidence for Chancellor Valorum was in Episode II. I looked it up and it was in Episode I.

I apologize for the mistakes. I was relying on my memory, which I guess isn't as good as I thought it was.

Talking points
--------------

Bad Things
-----------------

Character developtment (19:30)

Teaching wookiees to be combat pilots in a short timeframe (22:43)


Good Things

Character Study (34:39)
