The Collecting Track has been one of the longest standing Star Wars Celebration traditions. Since that first weekend in Denver, collectors have shared their knowledge, their holy grails, their special interests, and so much more with audiences around the world during Celebration. Today, Kara is joined by Duncan Jenkins, who has been part of the Collecting Track since 1999. Duncan is also an established collector, with his own treasure trove referred to as the Sithsonian. Kara asks Duncan about his memories of the earliest Celebrations, and some of the things that make the Collecting Track such a beloved part of the convention. As a member of Rancho Obi-Wan's Board of Directors, Duncan also tells us about the planned Saga Museum and how fans can support the project! Follow along with Kara and the IALW Podcast on Instagram!Support the project and Kara's zine on Patreon and check out her Celebration Database Blog!If you want to tell YOUR fandom story, send an e-mail to [email protected]"Beauty Flow" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 

For whatever reason, Star Wars fandom and waiting in line seem to go hand in hand. From the earliest days in May 1977 to the sidewalk cities of the prequels, all the way up to next month, a new Star Wars movie means a line is in the making. There's also legendary lines at Celebration, at toy releases, in the Disney parks...and Star Wars fans tend to make the best of it by building friendships and community. Joining me today is Richard Woloski from Skywalking Through Neverland, and we discuss all types of Star Wars line experiences and the magic that can be found with the people around you. Also in this episode: Richard was at Celebration Zero and you KNOW I had to ask all about it!Find Richard's podcast Skywalking Through Neverland on all podcast platforms and YouTube or visit their site here: https://skywalkingthroughneverland.com/Find Richard's book here: https://skywalkingthroughneverland.com/book/Get all the details for the "Mandalorian & Grogu" line here: https://liningup.net/Follow along with Kara and the IALW Podcast on Instagram!Support the project and Kara's zine on Patreon and check out her Celebration Database Blog!If you want to tell YOUR fandom story, send an e-mail to [email protected]"Beauty Flow" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 

This April, Disneyland’s Batuu will be undergoing some major changes. Jumping backwards in the timeline (in some areas of the park), there will be new character features - namely the big three of Han, Luke, and Leia. From starting out with big swings to maybe playing it a little safer, Galaxy’s Edge has had a long journey from conception to now. There’s no one better to have on the show than the great Nick Tierce to talk all about where we started, how the park has grown since then, and what these changes mean for the future. Nick brings Kara on a journey through Galaxy’s Edge history in this enlightening, vulnerable, and fun conversation!Find Nick and all his social media on his website (https://nicktierce.com/) and follow him on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/daringcuties)Follow along with Kara and the IALW Podcast on Instagram!Support the project and Kara's zine on Patreon and check out her Celebration Database Blog!If you want to tell YOUR fandom story, send an e-mail to [email protected]"Beauty Flow" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
