THE DEAD SPEAK! BOGA'S CANTINA IS BACK TO TALK ALL THINGS STAR WARS CELEBRATION!!

After a lengthy hiatus, Boga's Cantina is open for business once again! This week, our good friend and talented podcaster, Alden Diaz, joins the pod to talk about our crazy, wonderful, exhausting time at Star Wars Celebration. We touch on the major news and announcements to come out of the weekend, but also focus on our personal journeys and what this weekend meant to us beyond Star Wars. It was a roller coaster of a weekend, but one that both Alden and I look back on very fondly, eager to do it all again soon. It's great to be back, and to record with a dear friend, so please sit back, relax, and enjoy as Alden and I gush over this surreal Star Wars Celebration 2023!
