Rogue Fun’s first full day was a Star Wars collector’s dream.

Together, 200 fans and collectors traveled to Kennesaw, Georgia in May of 2024 to attend a once-in-a-lifetime weekend centering around Star Wars and its amazing community.

Join host David Quinn for an in-depth look at day two of the ROGUE FUN weekend.

Follow your fellow Star Wars fans as they hike the Kennesaw Mountain, check out the original Muppets at Atlanta’s Center for Puppetry Arts museum, visit the Georgia Aquarium, and stop at local toy and comic shops along the way.

Later that evening, head to a special mixer at Georgia collector Narayan Naik’s home, to tour one of the best and most extensive Star Wars collections in the world.

And in addition to focusing on Boba Fett, Luke Jedi and Yoda, the collection showcases the greatest Kenner and Hasbro toys, prototypes and production items, carded and loose figure variants, and hundreds of customs and swag pieces.

And return to the host hotel for a late-night impromptu Star Wars prototypes sale in the lobby, offering some truly rare and desirable pre-production items that you won’t find anywhere else!

Featuring live moments and stories from Hannah Bennett, Sam Bennett, Dave Brott, Josie Eclipse, Chris Georgoulias, Stu Kesilman, Doug Meyer, Vincent Michael, Narayan S. Naik, Ki-Adi Randy, Mattias Rendahl, Joel Slater, Jason Smith, Tim Theall, Jason Wasulko, Shannon Wasulko, Glen Williams and more!

This is why you need to attend the 2026 ROGUE FUN event. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

You may be familiar with how Rogue One ends. But do you know how ANDOR began?

The critically acclaimed Star Wars series almost didn’t happen.

The goal of ANDOR was to detail Cassian Andor’s journey from a child of war to a self-focused mercenary to a selfless hero of the early rebellion.

And like the rebels taking down the Death Star, the story behind bringing this one-in-a-million drama to the small screen is just as wild, and just as compelling.

Join host David Quinn as he explores the making of the monumental first season, and how showrunner Tony Gilroy transformed it into one of the greatest Star Wars stories ever told.

This is, in the words of Gilroy, “always protein, never icing.” And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

*This episode focuses on the events leading up to the series’ release in 2022, and does not contain any spoilers from seasons one and two.

For more than a decade, ToyCon NJ has been one of the best tri-state toy shows for Star Wars fans and for general collectors.

And that tradition continued this past weekend, as ToyCon not only served as a meetup for members of various Star Wars collecting clubs, but offered some incredible items at excellent prices.

Join host David Quinn for a two-day kickoff of the toy show season, in two different states.

Travel to the Armory in Morristown, New Jersey for the latest ToyCon NJ event on Saturday. And then head south to Delaware on Sunday, for a quick tour of the April Fools Toy Show.

This is where the hunt meets the hangout. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

This is the episode Lucasfilm’s leader hopes you’ll ignore.

Kathleen Kennedy recently responded to reports that she would be exiting her role as Lucasfilm’s president by the end of the year.

But her Deadline interview revealed much more than Kennedy likely planned.

Join host David Quinn for what may be the most in-depth analysis of that interview, and what’s really happening with the future of Star Wars and Lucasfilm:

What is the succession timeline?

Has Lucasfilm chosen a new leader?

Which Star Wars projects are actually in development currently?

And do Kennedy’s responses actually make a case for an executive change?

This episode will provide a clearer perspective and a better understanding of what is really happening, and why a new era of the franchise is quickly approaching.

This is a fascinating time to be a fan. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
