The Cats and The Watchamacallit with Matt Hochberg of Studios Central at Star Wars Weekends 2008
We sure do love our Star Tours! Not that we don’t get distracted by other things of course, including Jeff W’s karaoke hit, Disney Mountain High.
Okay peeps, surely you’ve heard the rumors all over the interwebs about Star Tours 2.0, but here’s some handy links in case you’ve fallen behind:
- Slashfilm: Secret Star Wars Production Shooting in Hollywood
- The Disney Blog: Star Tours 2.0 Confirmed (Again)
- LA Times: A Brief History of the Future of Star Tours 2.0 at Disneyland
We also recommend trolling for new rumors over at the StudiosCentral.com community forums, where there’s a current thread discussing the Slashfilm article above.
Those Darn Cats 
I’ll have to see if I can find a picture from Dragon*con last year of a cosplayer that was dresses as a mixed of Slave Leia and Jack Sparrow.
Wow, now that’s some interesting crossplay.
I’ll have to look for it this weekend and send it to you.
jack in chains? the hair and make up possibilities are mind boggling!
Found the pic. What is the email addy I should send it too?
podcast@thosedarncats.net please! And if it’s okay for us to post it here (with credit of course), let me know.
OK so Jen I need your help. I have been staying up late on Sat. to watch Adult Swim for the Clone Wars series. But I have been watching Bleach also. Since I started into the series late. Can you explain what is going on in this show. I get the fact there is this group of people who protect lost souls from these soul eaters. But that’s about all I really got from it. I like the show, but would like to understand what the hell I am watching. Please help!
Mike, I’ve only watched the first few episodes of Bleach, so I’m gonna rely on my good friend Wikipedia to give you some of the basic set-up (which explains more of the relationships among the characters):
“The story opens with the sudden appearance of Soul Reaper Rukia Kuchiki in Ichigo Kurosaki’s bedroom. She is surprised at his ability to see her, but their conversation is interrupted by the appearance of a “hollow”, an evil spirit. After Rukia is severely wounded while trying to protect Ichigo, she attempts to transfer half her powers to Ichigo in order to let him face the hollow on equal footing. Ichigo unintentionally absorbs almost all her energy, allowing him to defeat the hollow with ease. The next day Rukia appears in Ichigo’s classroom as a seemingly normal human, and informs Ichigo that his absorption of her powers has left her stranded in the human world until she recovers her strength. In the meantime Ichigo shelters Rukia in his home and takes over her job as a Soul Reaper, battling hollows and guiding lost souls to the afterlife realm known as Soul Society.”
