          • Pablo Hidalgo Interview – SWBW #53

            We are very excited to share with you an interview we did with Lucasfilm’s Pablo Hidalgo a few days ago!

            Teresa gets in some Transformers talk and Pablo is more than happy to geek out with her.

            It was a really fun interview and one you definitely don’t want to miss!
