#Amazeballs: @Dave_Filoni talks #CloneWars
#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @McDumler
Like all great things it began with Twitter…Yes I just said that. Anywho, @JenFriel posted “big #starwars event sunday. big big big. got a plus 1. anyone#TNTML related wanna come with? #nerdsunite” Being the nerd that I am my response was swift and sure. I had to go to this event. There was a line of Star Wars fans out to the street when I arrived at six and more than a few were toting lightsabers. Members of the 501st Legion arrived in full battle gear and both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker made appearances as well. I had a nice chat with some of the Clone Troopers and heard their complaints about the lack of visibility of their helmets. Perhaps this is why they are so easily defeated?
In attendance were many of the voice actors from the show including Matt Lanter (Anakin Skywalker), James Arnold Taylor (Obi-Wan), Catherine Taber (Padmé Amidala ) Jaime King (Aurra Sing), and quite a few others. The writer Katie Lucas was in attendance and she along with everyone else were hobnobbing it up with the fans and being very gracious. The new host of Attack of the Show, Candance Bailey, was there with her crew doing interviews for G4 TV.
Just prior to the start of the Premiere I had a chance to talk with Dave Filoni the director of Star Wars the Clone Wars about tonight’s event. Take a listen here!
Now I can’t talk about the episodes I watched since a Clone Trooper assured me that disclosure would result in termination, but I can say the episodes were fantastic! Dave was correct in that things certainly got much darker and a whole lot more action packed. All in all it was an incredible gathering of Star Wars fans and nerds. Big thanks to Talk Nerdy To Me Lover and the effervescent Jen Friel for sending me to this great event.
