An invite to Lucasfilm and Acolyte Red Carpet premiere really feels like the culmination and reward for years and years of positive online Star Wars work. Glad you enjoyed your time!
@@StarNameKev He's just envious & shows it that way. Le Sigh 😒 Soon we can stream The Acolyte via D+ & wind-down after day's activities (yes i always stream at late evening) 🧘🏼😋
So, I know you were touched by Leslye using your channel as a source, but you really are one the most definitive sources for Star Wars that's available to the general public. You should be very proud of all you've accomplished.
31:29 - The blue stickers are a variation of the emblem on the helmet with blast shield Luke used on the Falcon in Ep IV. That one was red and black, I believe.
@starwarsexplained OMG! I didn’t expect that you guys would see my comment! Thanks for the like! I love your channel and have been watching you guys for more than 5 years! Love how chill and fun you guys are. Watching you is like hanging out with friends talking SW! Loved your recap of your visit to Lucasfilm LA. got to visit Lucasfilm SF on a Saturday with a friend who was a gaming software programmer there in 2006. Got a personal tour and it was soooo amazing! Also took me as his plus one to the Lucasfilm Halloween party that year and they hooked the whole Orpheum Theatre and I was awestruck with all the SW cosplaying!!
Seeing the footage of Filoni coming in and Kyles face just oozing full mental reset is gold. I would seriously end up just crying and not knowing what to do with my hands if I was in that position.
Phenomenal. I've been following SWE for some good 6 or 7 years now. I was SO glad to know you were invited to this premiere. Nowhere to go but up and forward! Keep up the fantastic work, guys.
Congrats to you both for getting the chance to go to Lucasfilm for the roundtable and the Acolyte premiere! A well deserved opportunity I'm glad you got to be a part of it. This channel is a beacon of light and general positivity in the Star Wars community and it's great to see you being recognised for it and what you've contributed to the fandom. Love the stories about Leslye and how she put the cast together, I especially liked the parts about Kelnacca and Joonas and how she got Lee Jung-jae on board and the tales from the red carpet as well! Can't wait to see what this series has to offer
I'm glad you had this opportunity! It made me so happy to see you both excited about the trip! 😄 Can't wait for The Acolyte because I love Leslie from all her interviews and feel like she's made an amazing show because of her passion for it.
Someone open the World Between Worlds for Alex to use it to go back and talk to Dave about the World Between Worlds on camera so that people know how it works. Every second is precious time wasted making it absolutely clear so that people stop hoping to use it to retcon the things they don't like. Also while you're there, Alex, can you get him to confirm or deny that it's just a modern interpretation of what the Wookiees are doing in the Holiday Special? It feels very similar what with them walking on paths into a portal amongst a starfield backdrop.
I really wish I could tell Dave Filoni in person how his creation saved my life during a dark period when I was seriously on the edge of ending myself.
Long time, first time. I have been watching you guys for years, before TFA. I am a diehard Star Wars fan, but your channel is the only Star Wars content I watch on social media/YT. In my opinion, you have always represented the fandom in the best way. Thank you for all you do.
I’m So happy I got to see you guys again! Glad I got a picture with you after helping yall get a picture with Eman Esfandi! Happy you guys enjoyed your time in California 🙏🏽
As a huge fan of The Truman Show, I love the concept of taking comedy actors and giving them something serious to work on. I'm super excited to see what Manny Jacinto does with this role.
So happy you both got this well deserved opportunity. Hard work certainly pays off. Thank you both for always being a positive and welcoming space in the online community.
Hey Alex, not sure if anyone answered this already, but the old Kenner X-Wing pilot is Luke. Also, I hope you didn't pay too much for him if he's as loose as Molly said he was. You could get a mint condition one for a decent price.
If you want Pippin to hang out on-screen during your videos, you should take one of his cat beds or blankets or something he likes with his scent on it (and/or catnip, if he's one of those cats who respond well to it--because some don't--lol 😅) and put it on a pedestal or table or something between the two of you. That way you won't have to grab him and potentially get scratched or anything, lol 😅.
When I did the Disney Studios tour the guide knew that I was a huge Star Wars fan. When we walked by The Volume, the guide looked at me and said “you look like you have a question.” I said, “I do. How fast are the lot’s security guards?” 😏 It was a great tour!
Im honestly so excited for the acolyte since its set in this new era that ive actually started the high republic and finished the light of the jedi. I like marchion ro so much. He feels like such a breath of fresh air as a villain and the jedi in this series were just doing such cool stuff. Cant wait to get unto the rest of the books
Molly! Hair lookin’ good! Also, Golden Apple trips were the best when I was a kid. Started my love of comics at six just because my elementary school was near enough. Glad you enjoyed it!
So happy for you guys!!! I can’t think of anyone who deserves such an amazing Star Wars experience!!! Well definitely Kyle heh. Really appreciate your rundown of a crazy week of Star Wars nerdiness. Very smart on Lucasfilm’s part. I was already pumped for the Acolyte but now even more so! I stopped watching all the spots cause it’s too much, give me the show! 😛 Thanks again Alex & Molly, you are the shining light of Star Wars fandom 💜
I wonder if Lucasfilm Ltd. would cast you as a HoloNet archivist who’s been trying to compile information about the most unsung heroes of the Rebellion, including Biggs Darklighter.
You two should not be surprised if/when LucasFilm researches your pages. As on OG SW fan (I remember watching it at a drive-in theater) I love the enthusiasm you both have for this beloved franchise. I think you have the best fan page in the business and I love how you tackle the "controversies" of this fictional universe. Keep up the great work, I look forward to seeing more :)
It sounds as though you both had an amazing experience! Leslye sounds like a real fantastic person. This makes me so happy! 😀 And yes! I love Russian Doll. 🪆
I feel like nobody deserves the honour of being some of the first people to see the Acolyte than Alex and Mollie, I mean they’ve been advocates of this show since it was first announced, and stuck by it even amongst all of the unnecessary hate after the first trailers, they deserved this!
Star Wars the high republic was the beginning off the jedi and my favorite characters of the high republic is avar Kris and Elzar mann and they are the main characters of phase 1 and phase 3 and i love elzar and win he use the darkness
was it feed back or was it admiration? idk what you can do with feedback so close to the premier other than maybe consider your last minute marketing options star wars marketing feels like its budget is growing but they do best when they focus on the story and excitement, and not on existing pockets of fandom idk hope this show knocks it outta the park
Q&A: Did you notice the photo from the London premiere of “Mae” posing with two young girls. The girls looked to be about 8-10 years old. The young girls almost looked like twins. They were supposedly portraying “Young Mae”.
Love the content! I'm late to the party, but congrats on the invite! While I've not been a huge fan of some of the recent Star Wars content *cough sequels* I'm happy to watch positive content about the franchise I love so much!
It would have been a funny button to go through this amazing recounting of a fun trip to end on “so did we like the show? …meh 🤷♂️. Could’ve been better”
Whoa... Leslye watched your channel and got to write a Star Wars series that actually got made? So... there's hope for my series! Now, I just need people to read it...
Sounded like a great trip. Still think you guys need to re-work this new setup. Don't need to see Alex's gut the whole video haha. Either put a desk in front of you guys or more close up shots of you two when your talking. Love your videos! You are the perfect Star Wars couple.
I hear you for the "Thank you for watching our stuff" but I will say this. We watch because of how high quality it is the information and the presentation so thank you for making quality content we want to watch!
What an incredible thrill it must have been to be inside the Lucasfilm office, talking with the show runner for The Acolyte, and Filoni coming out of nowhere like Ahsoka in Book of Boba Fett. Awesome stuff. You both deserved this incredible experience!
next time bring Pippin
Don’t tempt me with a good time!! All this is really going to his lil head.
Your awesome Star Wars social media manager.

13:02: Don't worry Alex, not even the die-hard Harry Potter fans know what they were talking about in that film.
I was one of the few that liked that movie but it had so many plot holes.
31:29 - The blue stickers are a variation of the emblem on the helmet with blast shield Luke used on the Falcon in Ep IV. That one was red and black, I believe.
Came to see if anyone had put this out there! :) It's a great reference. 'Your eyes can deceive you! Don't trust them!'
Not related to SW, but I love how organized your space of books and collectibles are! I need this in my SW cave!!

Yall shoulda asked Dave “ so tell me about abeloth” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Total missed opportunity lol
Or they/someone totally went there and were not only told nothing, they were also told they couldn’t even admit asking…
Congrats you pair, well deserved recognition! Thank you for being a positive force in this fandom. x

Thanks, Mollie! Thanks, Alex! 👽 I was thrilled to see y'all at Lucasfilm with Leslye and Dave and all the other RUclipsrs. 🎆
Happy for you guys and totally deserved feedback because you really are building a community on positivity, and that is no mean feat.

Please explain, how did Filoni save your life? This outta be good
I love this for y'all! Thank you for sharing your cool experience with us!

YESSSSSSSS lets gooooo great job mol!!!!
As a huge fan of The Truman Show, I love the concept of taking comedy actors and giving them something serious to work on. I'm super excited to see what Manny Jacinto does with this role.
I’m cautiously optimistic for this. The plot sounds intriguing and I like that it’s in a completely new era. I’m tired of the same old characters.
Awesome video! Loved hearing about your recent adventures with the Lucasfilm folks and the premiere!
So happy you both got this well deserved opportunity. Hard work certainly pays off. Thank you both for always being a positive and welcoming space in the online community.
That’s so cool!! So happy that you guys got to go!! So excited to see the videos that come with the Acolyte!!
Hope you guys have a wonderful day!!
Erik Voss looks like one of the nicest guys.
We all love Pipin! ❤ And I am glad you went there, I realy enjoy your content here.
PS Mollie you look great!❤

Great video, glad you got to experience that! Looking forward to seeing Acolyte in theaters tomorrow, beats waiting until midnight lol.
Congrats on the one of a life time in-person Star Wars roundtable!!
The Vintage Kenner figure is Luke. 😁

Y'all alright just saw the water mains in Atlanta
I just saw that as well. Hope everything is okay at Chez Damon!
Quite simply, thank you.
I’m glad you had a good trip
Paunch Burger is LITERALLY my favorite thing (other than fatally piloting X-wings like my father before me)
In case no one said, the sticker you saw was on Luke's Training Helmet on the Falcon.
Mollie's t-shirt!!!!!!!💥❤️
Fella also has a good shirt 🙂
@Fedaygin my favorite star wars RUclipsrs! Mollie and Fella!
I wonder if Lucasfilm Ltd. would cast you as a HoloNet archivist who’s been trying to compile information about the most unsung heroes of the Rebellion, including Biggs Darklighter.
You two deserve it one of the most positive channels out there and not just in the Star wars community 👍👊🇦🇺, cheers
Yaaas! So happy for you!!!🥳💖
dd you just say SECRET TUNNEL. SECRET TUNNEL. THROUGH THE MOUNTAAAAINS xD
I hesitated to watch because of potential spoilers, i shouldn't have worried. Your show was great. Both you guys are classy and fun.
Great job. We all love Pippin
🎶Secret tunnel!! Secret tunnel!!🎶
is erik voss a person or is he actually just a robot?
How long was the episode excluding credits
Wait Leslie made Russian doll?? I was already excited, but now I can’t wait!

And here I was, thinking I'd invented mozzarella sticks on burgers. It sure ain't healthy, but it tastes good.
So I WANNA KNOW which of you plays piano?
