253: Miki Herman and the Locals of Galaxy’s Edge

Special guest Miki Herman joins us for an amazing discussion about working on the OT Star Wars films. She is one of very few females who worked in production for A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi… and the Star Wars Holiday Special! She also donned the C-3PO outfit for a short span of time, but long enough to find out she couldn’t, well, visit the refresher without a LOT of hassle!

Get to know Galaxy’s Edge Cast Members! Did you know that each Cast Member in Batuu has their own backstory? To enhance the immersive feel, each local has created their own story as to why they are working at Black Spire Outpost, as well as how they feel about the Resistance and First Order occupation, and what they know about the legend of Luke Skywalker. We will hear some of these stories.

Galaxy’s Edge Trip Report! Mike Sanders and his son Owen share their first visit to Galaxy’s Edge.
