Steve Kaarbo, organizer of Excalibur Con, joins Rise of the Podcast for a wonderfully chaotic nerd summit covering the upcoming Duluth convention, voice actors, cosplay, gaming, panels, movie tie-ins, and why cons feel like a giant family reunion. The crew also recaps their May the 4th adventures with Chopper, Star Wars props, 3D printed lightsabers, Celebration swag, animatronic Grogu envy, collecting and online auction rants, favorite Star Wars eras, and the deeply serious business of building Luke Skywalker’s perfect Pokémon team. We also reminisce about our favorite Star Wars experiences, ramble on with stories of the good ol' days, nerd out about current and upcoming Star Wars shows, books, and games, and talk a little bit about life. Thank you so much for supporting our channel! We love interacting with all of you! We look forward to talking with you guys every week about Star Wars, gaming, 3D printing, pop culture, movies, and everything else!
