Dan talks about a recent symphony orchestra performance of Star Wars & Star Trek music that he attended. Kenton thinks an Obi-Wan movie would still be better than a series.

Lucasfilm Creative Executive and Story Group member Pablo Hidalgo returns to the Star Wars Nerds podcast during FanQuest 2018 to discuss his trip home to Winnipeg, what's changed at Lucasfilm in the three years since he was last there (hint: a lot!) and thecompleteplotsynopsesofthenextsixStarWarsfilms. Just kidding, he doesn't talk about that. But he does talk about his job of filling in the details of the Star Wars Universe, writing the "Official Guide" companion books to the films, and the relationship between Canon and what's now called "Star Wars Legends." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/starwarsnerds/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/starwarsnerds/support
