Droid

So still to this day, he's worked on about every single Star Wars audiobook that's came out for the past 30-something years.

And The Mixed-Up Droid is one of the first that he worked on.

So let's go over a little bit real quick before we listen to it of a who's who in the cast.

We've got Jeff Edelman as a narrator, which this is his only Star Wars credit.

So there's also Melanie Mitchell as Leia.

And she also voiced Nomi Sunrider in the Tale of the Jedi audio drama.

So you might recognize her voice when we get to mix up Droid.

You're going to have driving through the desert flashbacks when you hear her voice.

Um...

But if you're fighting the CAS, like, other than that, the B1 Battle Droid, which, you'll know them, they're like the silver-colored walker, and they fire like the two, they have their hand down, they go

pew pew, pew pew.

I'm doing it even though you guys can't see me.

We gotta get

our Star Wars lore right, or else we're going to jail.

I think you're talking about the B2 Super Battle Droid.

We're going to jail

The idea that Michael Hawley, who I was interviewing, that he had on his sunglasses and his biker shorts while I was interviewing him.

And and a keyboard by his side, and he was at Lucasfilm, Droid, working on the audio, first audio, digital audio

film technology.

He was a fascinating guy.

so what did it actually take behind the scenes to pull that gamble off with an ip like star wars watching over their shoulders couldn't have technically made the game without scene graph despite it still being developed By the end of this, you'll know the one test they run before locking in a design document, and you won't ship your next updates without running it yourself.

We get into so much more behind the scenes of Droid.

Let's go.

This

All right, guys.

Well, here we go.

I mean, before Fode and Droid Tycoon became huge, of course, what were each of you uniquely bringing to the team? And when did you guys realize your creative and technical skill sets worked like really well together? Nate and I worked together for

almost two decades now.

I've

been a Droid

user forever.

I mean, I didn't upgrade the latest Samsung because the new models are inundated with AI, and I just didn't want to deal with that.

And Don Franks, he's the co-pilot, he played the sheriff in My Bloody Valentine.

He did every Saturday morning cartoon from ALF, Police Academy, the animated series, Star Wars, Droid, Swamp Thing, Cadillacs, and Dinosaurs.

The guy was on, he's a very prolific voice actor, so cool to see him in this as well.

This one was directed by Barry Nelson.
