We see The Sci-Fi Christian, in all its iterations, as being about the collision between faith and nerdom. We believe that good genre fiction is about more than just entertainment. We seek to engage with the themes and philosophies behind our favorite stories, wrestling with the big ideas within speculative fiction. We’re unabashedly nerdy and unabashedly Christian. Even if your faith background differs from ours, we look forward to interacting with you at The Sci-Fi Christian!

Manage episode 329645374 series 2390842

Today I’m talking to Kevin Thompson, who portrayed Ewoks in Return of the Jedi and the Ewok movies, as well as his wife Tracey Thompson, who wrote the new book “My Journey to Endor”, chronicling Kevin’s career and stories.
They were such a blast to talk to, as we delved into the incredible work on the set of Jedi, as well as Blade Runner and so much more.
They will be at Star Wars Celebration this week, signing autographs and books. Please go see them at their table, or purchase “My Journey to Endor” here: https://amzn.to/3MO2cHd
And yes, for anyone still not aware: THIS FRIDAY we will be having a live panel at Star Wars Celebration on the podcast stage with special guest MATT MARTIN from the Lucasfilm Story Group, at 11AM on Friday 5/27! We’ll see you there and will have the live recording up as a podcast soon!
Hope to see you all in Anaheim! I have special swag (aka highlighters based off of the Episode 1 documentary) and would love to see all listeners of the show.
If you can leave a 5-star review of the show right here on your favorite podcast app, or on Podchaser: podchaser.com/TalkingBay94
Transcripts of previous episodes are now available over at talkingbay94.com.
