In episode 94 of The Force Geeks: A Star Wars Podcast, Nate, Jake, Chris, and Matt welcome their first guest, actor and suit performer Chris Bartlett from The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian, on the show and also break down the fourth chapter of The Book of Boba Fett -- titled The Gathering Storm. The Geeks examine all the spoilers and Easter eggs for this episode of the show, including the closure of the prologue story, and why this version of Boba is so different from what we knew of him from the Original Trilogy. The Geeks also dive into what the show is setting up for a run-in between Boba and the Pykes, and that huge clue that the Mandalorian himself, Din Djarin, is coming.
The Geeks also welcomed Chris Bartlett on to the show for a shortened interview with him, which appears at 51:35 into the show. He discussed how he went form being a fan who made his own custom Star Wars costumes, to taking on the role of C-3PO in place of Anthony Daniels on occasion, as well as learning to be C-3PO from Daniels, himself. Bartlett also shared what it's like to work with Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Robert Rodriguez, as well as all the directors from both seasons of The Mandalorian. Bartlett discussed working with Deborah Chow on The Mandalorian, who is also working on the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series that she is helming. No spoilers here for that series, but he talked about the qualities that she is likely bringing to the new highly anticipated series. He was a fantastic guest and a true Star Wars fan who is living the dream. He knows it and takes it very seriously, but has a great time sharing his passions with the Geeks! Check it all out in this episode of The Force Geeks!
