I'm so excited this is a real thing. According to this featurette, Anthony Daniels, C-3PO himself, taught a droid school of sorts. He used his mastery of the craft of being the perfect droid to help other actors learn the ways for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. He's like a droid Yoda. The best thing about this is it sounds like something I would totally make up as a joke. Yet here it is on video, Droid School. Does anyone else find this as hilarious as I do?

Science & Star Wars Does Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is the topic of this Science & Star Wars, & that's all it is, a topic. I love this show for the experiments it does in the realm of Star Wars. This one was more of a show of where we are in the field of A.I. right now. Don't get me wrong this is very informative, & it did have Anthony Daniels, C-3PO himself. It just seemed to lack the draw of the other episodes. It felt like a science lecture, but that's just the nature of this beast right now. Not to many ways to pull of A.I., & they pretty have been with the co-host for every episode so far. It was cool seeing how it worked, just not as engaging as usual. Still can't wait for more, just a little more hands on next time around. What did y'all think of this one? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
"40 Years of Star Wars" Recap
As we said earlier Star Wars Celebration kicked off today in Orlando with 40 Years of Star Wars. Brilliantly hosted by Star Wars alumni, Warwick Davis first out was Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy who after a few words & thanks, introduces "her Yoda", George Lucas. He takes the stage for the rest of the 40th panel for a trip down memory lane. Starting with Dave Filoni, Star Wars Rebels creator, as he talks with George about being a padwan of sorts throughout the course of Star Wars Clone Wars & how social media has connected us all. As he leaves the sage are attention goes to the screen to welcome Qui-Gon Jinn, Liam Neeson with a special "announcement" involving Jar-Jar Binks, everyone's favorite Gungan. After the video Warwick & George are joined by Anakin Skywalker, Hayden Christensen & his Emperor Palpatine, Ian McDiarmid for a darkside reunion. I was waiting for this & was not disappointed at all. A very entertaining back & forth over their experiences throughout their Star Wars careers. Mace Windu, Samuel L. Jackson appeared on screen following their departure letting us know that he feels Mace is still alive. Next on stage was Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, & Billy Dee Williams. Anthony Daniels talked some droid memories & the design of C3PO with George. Peter Mayhew was next, discussing his similarities with the mighty Chewbacca & Princess Leia. The final of the three, Billy Dee Williams, too cool to be interviewed as usual, talked about working with George & gave some insight on Lando Calrissian. Then to join our host & all four men currently on stage was Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill. After a sincere thanks to the fans, George was asked why Mark? What follows was a conversation to make every Star Wars fans dream. As if that wasn't enough, making his first appearance at a Star Wars Celebration, Han Solo himself, Harrison Ford. Ford steals the show as he tends to do. He & George explain the early years of their film relationship going back to American Graffiti. Afterwards, to cap it all off, Kathleen Kennedy & George Lucas remember Princess Leia, & introduce Carrie Fisher's daughter Billie Lord. She has some touching words about her mother followed by an amazing remembrance video. The Orlando Symphonic Orchestra bring us home with Leia's Theme followed by just about every other Star Wars theme with the only conductor they could possibly have, the great John Williams.
