The lore. The legacy. The green robe cameo.
Get ready for a deeper cut into the "Star Wars" galaxy—and the creative mind that’s helped shape it for decades.

If you thought Part 1 was epic—strap in. In the second half of our conversation with Pablo Hidalgo, Director of Franchise and Story at Lucasfilm, we go beyond “Star Wars” lore and into the heart of what makes a lifelong creative tick.

Pablo is one of the key architects behind the modern “Star Wars” galaxy. From vetting books, comics, and scripts to preserving continuity across decades of storytelling, his role keeps the galaxy far, far away on course.

In Part 2, Pablo opens up about his time embedded on the set of “Revenge of the Sith”, including how he landed a cameo in the opera scene (green robe and all). He also shares what it means to be a “story steward,” how trust was earned behind the scenes, and why passion—not planning—was the secret to his success.

Whether you're a fan of behind-the-scenes magic, filmmaking wisdom, or creative careers that don’t follow a straight line, this episode delivers.

And if you missed Part 1… trust us, you’ll want to go back.

🎧 Hit play and let’s make the jump to hyperspace—because the Force is strong with this one.
