Travis welcomes Brian from The Old Republic Podcast and Drink the Movies Podcast for the sixth installment of Star Wars in Pop Culture! In this episode, Travis and Brian explore the partnership between Star Wars and LEGO!
Join us as we cover:

LEGO before the Star Wars Partnership
The incredible fan project by Maestro S. Fujita in 1992 where he recreated the Original Trilogy in LEGO form before LEGO Star Wars was a thing! Check out all 180 photos (60 per movie) here!
The 1998 negotiations between Lucasfilm and LEGO
First LEGO Star Wars Sets
Ultimate Collector Sets and the Master Builder Series
Most expensive and rare LEGO Star Wars sets on the market!

ForceTime fully supports the WGA and SAG-AFTRA in their fight for a fair contract. Without the writers and actors affected, so much of what we love to talk about would not be out in the world. No struck work will be covered on the podcast until a deal is done. Follow these links to support their causes: WGA, SAG-AFTRA.
