With just over a week left in the campaign for the TVC LAAT/i Republic Gunship, Evan and John had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Steve Evans and Chris Reiff of the Hasbro Star Wars Brand Team to discuss the gunship, HasLabs, TVC, and the community around it.

There's some insightful stuff here across a variety of topics, including:

- How and why this gunship differs from the previous version

- Pipelines vs surprises (and some teases for the future...)

- What TVC means to the team

Have you backed the gunship yet? If you are a backer, you're eligible to enter our Great Big Ghost Giveaway, where the winner will receive a TVC Ghost with all tier unlocks, the Sabine and Chopper 2-pack, and a commemorative #GotTheGhost sticker. Head on over to @SWTVC on Instagram for full details.

As always, #keep375alive and may the Force be with you! Oh, and #GETTHEGUNSHIP!
