Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
I have been looking forward to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story for a super long time and so I about died when I found out that I was going to be able to attend a Rogue One footage presentation & reception at Skywalker Ranch! I mean SKYWALKER RANCH! I am a huge Star Wars nerd so this is a big deal for me. Like, a really big deal. I will only get to see 28 minutes of footage – but that is enough to satisfy me until December 16th!
As if that is not already enough, I will also be visiting LucasFilm HQ and interviewing the majority of the cast (and the director!). This is who I will be chatting with:
- Diego Luna (“Cassian”)
- Riz Ahmed (“Bodhi”)
- Felicity Jones (“Jyn”)
- Ben Mendelsohn (“Krennic”)
- Donnie Yen (“Chirrut”)
- Alan Tudyk (“K2SO”)
- Mads Mikkelsen (“Galen”)
- Director Gareth Edwards
Be sure to check back here for my exclusive interview posts starting December 7th!
ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY arrives in theaters everywhere on December 16th!

Mickey and the Roadster Racers
My young daughters love Disney Junior so I was excited to learn that I will also be heading to the Walt Disney Family Museum for a special screening event of the upcoming animated series Mickey and the Roadster Racers. I can already tell that this show is going to be a huge hit with my girls and so I can’t wait to check it out. My girls have watched the trailer over and over and I must say, the whole family is excited for this series. After watching the first episode, I will be attending a Q&A with Producers Rob LaDuca & Mark Seidenberg (and a special guest – fingers crossed the big mouse himself shows up!).
Mickey and the Roadster Racers debutes on Disney Junior on January 15, 2017!

One of my favorite movies when I was a little girl was Pinocchio, so I am really excited that it is going to be released on Digital HD and Blu-ray soon. While in San Francisco, I will be given a guided tour of the Walt Disney Family Museum’s special exhibit “Wish Upon A Star: The Art of Pinocchio” which is sure to be amazing. I cannot wait to check the whole museum out!

Very excited for this. Life never allowed me to see the Force Awakens in theaters, I will see this.
This sounds like such a fun adventure. I can not wait to read the interview.
