Never Land on Alderaan!

James Burns makes the virtual journey to Rancho Obi-Wan to catch up with Steve Sansweet and learn all about this weekend's upcoming Virtual Fundraising Gala 2020.

You too can embark on the same journey by buying a ticket for the Virtual Fundraising Gala which starts on November 20th and runs through November 21st. Take the link here to get your ticket now, they are only $30, and we hope to see you there!

Your donations go to help Rancho Obi-Wan protect the collection, maintain the facility, and develop new programs of inspiration and education.

Funds raised are used for insurance, utilities, taxes, fees, security, professional services, maintenance on the buildings, and protection and preservation of the collection. None are ever used to acquire collectibles.

Episode 73 of RADIO 1138 returns with James Burns being joined by Jedi News Literature Editor Steve Galloway to introduce an interview he conducted with BBC presenter David Whiteley before lockdown. David Whiteley’s Star Wars documentaries Toy Empire and The Galaxy Britain Built aired 2 days before the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in December 2019 and his book The Galaxy Britain Built is available now to buy from Amazon UK and Amazon US.

We also wish Rancho Obi-Wan’s Steve Sansweet a very happy 75th birthday and discuss the prospects for Star Wars Celebration Anaheim.

On this episode of RADIO 1138, James Burns is joined by Steve Galloway to discuss the recent virtual LEGO Fan Media Days, LEGO Star Wars leaks and the first anniversary of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. James talks to Doug Chiang, Vice President & Executive Creative Director of Star Wars, about Rise of the Resistance and The Mandalorian.

Finally, we head to Rancho Obi-Wan where James catches up with Steve Sansweet & Anne Neumann to discuss the new Virtual Museum, remembering Charles Lippincott and their memories of the release of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (as it celebrates its 15th anniversary).

All this and more, on an action-packed episode of RADIO 1138.
