178: Tom Hodges Star Wars Dream Park vs. Galaxy's Edge

Star Wars Artist Tom Hodges (HodgesArt) joins us to discuss his Star Wars Land "Dream Park" concept that he illustrated for 2010's Star Wars Celebration 5 and how that compares to the new Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge! We also talk more D23 Expo, including great coverage of the Animation and Live Action Panels as Tom is a HUGE Star Wars / Disney fan. He describes the Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet scene just beautifully. Russell Flores (author of Seen, Unseen Disneyland) joins us at the Expo and he updates us on his books and explains how he became the go-to guy for trending cosplayers at D23 Expo. Just as we were talking about the Big Thunder Mountain costume that won the Costume Masquerade Contest, Tina Elliot, the cosplayer who wore that costume just happened to be walking by! Check out her Instagram for costume pics. WHERE WE WILL BE (IN REAL LIFE) 9/1/17: John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl! Join us from 5:30-7:00 for a picnic before the concert at Picnic Area 14.
