As Technical Project Manager at Disney, Aaron led the talented Imagineers (and 100+ audio-animatronic robots) to launch Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Aaron is now working with Facebook as AR Producer.

Aaron talks to Dean about living out every child’s dream of becoming an Imagineer and bringing Star Wars into the real world at Disney’s Galaxy’s Edge. The pair also deep dive into the world of robotics, drawing parallels between fact and fiction, exploring the potential of robots in our homes, and discussing how our trust in droids might evolve.
