259: Avengers Immortal! (D23 Expo Part 2)

We are Skywalking through Avengers Campus and More!

The D23 Expo proved an incredible backdrop to conversations with Imagineers and creatives behind some of our favorite things – Avengers Campus, Vader Immortal II and the Galactic Starcruiser! First, we chat with Imagineer John Mauro about details coming to Avengers Campus at DCA in Summer 2020. Then we speak with Imagineer Lauren about the upcoming “Star Wars Hotel” – Galactic Starcruiser – coming to WDW. Next we sat down with ILMxLAB’s creative team behind Vader Immortal: Episode II – Ben Snow (Director), Matt Martin (Creative Executive, Lucasfilm) and Jose Perez III (Senior Experience Designer).
