You heard the excerpt from this interview featured on "A Disturbance In The Force". Now, hear the full conversation!

For the first time ever, we are releasing our full, complete and unedited interview with Charles Lippincott, the reclusive publicity supervisor from the original 1977 Star Wars film who worked with George Lucas and Gary Kurtz in the early days of the franchise. We believe this is the longest audio interview ever conducted with the late publicist. In the mid-seventies, Charles traveled to Science Fiction conventions to promote the film before it was released. He discusses the challenges advertising the film presented and looks back on his career working on films such as "Westworld" and with directors like Alfred Hitchcock before he joined the Star Wars production crew. Charles also talks abut working with Stan Lee on the Marvel Comics Adaptation, his thoughts on the new Star Wars films, and much more in this very rare interview.

Haven't heard this in a long time. A long time. Looking forward to giving it a spin one more time.

Thanks for reposting this. Haven’t heard this interview for a couple of years. Somehow, I’ve become less forgiving of Charley’s take on Empire (and especially Yoda) these years later. What was his issue with Yoda, exactly? The marketability of the character around 1980-81? For some reason it sounds petty this time around. He didn’t even watch the other movies very closely it seems, and he was hardly in a position to comment on the merits of Empire Strikes Back. If he had, he might have appreciated the amazing feat that Frank Oz achieved in getting a muppet to command greater screen presence than even Alec Guinness could. I would take Yoda over some stupid greasy HR Giger alien any day.
