Don Bies Returns: An Inside Look at the Lucasfilm Archives and the Special Editions

Don Bies came on this podcast way back on Episode #5 (!). If you haven’t listened to our previous conversation, definitely give it a download first, to hear all about his incredible career … because this episode is me asking all the questions I wish I had asked him 3 years ago. Japanese Panasonic commercials (and adventures with Peter Mayhew + previous guest Niki Botelho)… the 1988 Marin County Fair … the Special Editions … and so, so much more. I think I broke my mic (sorry) from laughing so hard. It truly means the world that Mr. Bies came back on the show, and that he took a chance on this podcast 3 years ago … and, of course, his stories are just the best, if you can’t tell by my reactions. Keep the Gaslight Burning is now streaming on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/Keep-Gaslight-Burning-Markie-Post/dp/B07K1FQ9C5 For donations and Information about The Grant Imahara STEAM Foundation: https://grantimaharafoundation.org/ Next week, Episode #99 (!), is with ILM legend David Carson, who was mentioned several times in this episode. It's a great one ... he designed the Gamorrean Guards! In this lead up to Episode #100 (which is crazy to even say) I would really appreciate some new reviews on Apple.
