Episode 418 - Charles Lippincott, A Personal Story

Today on GeekFest Rants we mourn the passing of a friend, Charles Lippincott.  Charlito, to his friends, was responsible for the initial deals to market and licence Star Wars.  From the Kenner action figures, to the Marvel comics, to pre-premier convention appearances, to fan relations, and to most marketing and licencing.  Join Carlos as he shares his personal story of how he connected with Charles and how he became a sort of Obi Wan Kenobi to Carlos and the life of this show.

Episode 417 - Star Wars Celebration 2020 COVID CON

Convention time is here.  Unfortunately it seem most cons are being cancelled due to COVID-19.  So what can be done about it?  Join Carlos and Kyle at GeekFest Rants as they theorize on what Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2020 will or would have been about, depending on it's undetermined fate.  We'll also throw around some ideas as to how, even a cancellation could be turned into an alternative way of still providing fans with an in-home Celebration experience.  I hope the Star Wars/Disney convention bigwigs somehow hear these ideas.
