Does the future of Star Wars depend on the Mandalorian and Grogu movie?

371. No More Star Wars for Luke or Poe!

Have you met the man who first brought Boba Fett to life?

In 1978, John Celestri animated Boba Fett for his introduction in the Holiday Special, kicking off Star Wars fans’ nearly 50-year fascination with the mysterious bounty hunter.  

During the May 4th weekend, John shared his experience with more than 150 collectors at the Rogue Fun weekend in Kennesaw, Georgia.  

Learn more about John’s contribution to the world of Star Wars in the Rogue Fun panel “Animating Boba Fett and Beyond: A Conversation with John Celestri.”

Join host David Quinn for a look at the memorable presentation, and the story of Boba Fett, told for the first time by the animator who helped create the iconic character.

This is how an artist’s pencil can impact a galaxy.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

225. John Celestri: The Animator Who Brought BOBA FETT To Life In The 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special

The main event is finally here.  And it’s the pinnacle of one of the greatest Star Wars collectors weekends ever.

In May of 2024, 200 collectors traveled to Kennesaw, Georgia for Rogue Fun, a multi-day Star Wars trip centering on collecting and connecting.

And on Saturday, May the Fourth, the Georgia Alliance hosted a 7-hour ballroom event, featuring dinner, room sales and five incredible Star Wars-themed panel presentations.  

The panels covered the history of Star Wars and the Sears holiday catalogs, two legendary action figure customizers, the artist who introduced Boba Fett to the world in 1978, and Steve Sansweet and the authors of two of the most iconic books about collectibles. 

And the presentations ended with a wildly funny and insightful chat with two former Kenner creatives who worked on the Kenner line and helped design some of the most beloved Star Wars figures and playsets.

The evening concluded with every collector’s dream: an epic room sales event in the ballroom.  From Kenner to Hasbro, and from prototypes and production pieces, the event had enough Star Wars items for sale to fill an entire store!

Join host David Quinn for an in-depth look at day three of the memorable Rogue Fun weekend.  

Featuring live moments and stories from Star Wars fans and collectors Rich Alot, Howard Bollinger, Lewis Brown, John Celestri, Tim Effler, Matt Fox, Jerry Hancock, Josie Harmon, Paul Harrison, Don Henderson, Erik Janniche, Bruce Lieberman, Jonathan McElwain, Doug Meyer, Maggie Moore, Shawn Moynihan, Narayan S. Naik, Steven J. Sansweet, Barry Scott, Ryan Shaw, Jason Smith, Tim Theall, Mike Tricomi, Vinny Tricomi, Jason Wasulko, Shannon Wasulko, Gary Ray Weaver, Glen Williams and many more!

This is the magic of the Star Wars collecting community at its peak.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
