#StarWars #RogueLeader #GameCube Original Airdate: October 2001 Welcome to EP's Star Wars Spectacular, celebrating some of the coolest Star Wars games ever made as we race towards the opening of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones! In our first segment we visit LucasArts in San Rafael, California where Tommy Tallarico and Victor Lucas get the details on Star Wars: Starfighter Special Edition for the Xbox from producer, Reeve Thompson. EP's Question of the Week is: "How many videogames based on the Star Wars movies have them made?" James Mielke from EGM answers. Then in the forests around LucasArts, Victor jumps in a pod racer and chats with Dale Geist, the producer of Star Wars Racer Revenge. Afterwards Tommy catches up with game director, Dan Connors to find out more about Obi-Wan for the Xbox. Tommy also chats with level designers, Jeffrey Sondin-Kung and Jeremy War. When we return from break we speak with famed Star Wars historian, Steven Sansweet. Then Tommy jumps in an X-wing and joins up with Brett Tosti, producer, and Julian Eggerbrecht, president/director of Factor 5 to talk about Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader for the Nintendo GameCube.
