Sam Witwer sets the record straight on George Lucas and Star Wars for 6 minutes straight.

Teaser of Witwer's fantastic panel at Fanboy Expo Orlando. ironically this is about how long he talked to each person who got his autograph over the weekend! Look for the panel in its' entirety soon.

I met him at Celebration one year, I wondered why his line wasn't moving. Then I got to the end of it and realized it was because he was stopping to talk to EVERYONE in the line. It was money well spent in my book.

The way he mispronounced things when doing George's voice is so perfect, he's clearly a fan for knowing about that meme

[HiItsMars]

His point in the beginning is huge. A lot of people got so into the OG Star Wars because it didn’t treat you like a viewer seeking information. It dropped you in an established universe and left you to piece it together.

Sam Witwer and Henry Cavill in a room together would be truly something to behold.

[SocietyOfDecency]

Sam is such a treasure. I'd like to see him and Henry Cavill nerd out together one day.

[GhostFace]

You can just see the passion Sam has for Star Wars! Sam is just freaking awesome and needs to be in more star wars projects!

[John_II]

Sam literally made the Force Unleashed for me. He also nailed Darth Maul in Clone Wars. Seeing him do this kind of speaking engagement is music to my eyes/ears.

[J-sk]

Sam Witwer is the rarest breed: The actor/voice actor who so love the material they're working with, and match the passion of the fandom, that they both vocalise and express their appreciation as much as possible. It's so nice to see, compared to the regular, obligatory 'I just do this for the paycheck' actors who take an active distance from caring about the material, particularly if it's 'nerdy'.

[Treffaut]

The Lucas impression at 1:25 was so on-point without being mocking, 12/10.

[joshsauer]

His Lucas impression is spot on. The voice and the slouched, chilled back way he even sits.

[Crichjo]

Sam nailed just how these studios think in regards to sequels. "Yeah the first one made so much money, let's do it again but MORE! Let's have more Jawas, more Tattoine, more death stars!" - basically just more of the same. George did the opposite in regards to Empire, he didn't repeat the first in anyway. He made a darker story that goes in a completely different direction, with Luke separated from the others, a focus on more chases in space, different locations never seen before, and of course the big revelations at the end. This is why a creative auteur who has control over his property with no studio interference can work wonders.

The reverence you can hear from him, as he talks about George Lucas, the prequels and Star Wars as a whole is inspirational. Not only does he get to be a part of the Universe, but you can hear he understands the fundamentals of it's storytelling and has such a respect for what it's done for Art, Film and Millions of us across the world. Sam Witwer is a legend, and I will happily support him in every piece of media he is attached to.

[that_one_guy_named_rami]

I have massive respect for this man. I was introduced to him from the Force Unleashed and liked him a lot ever since that.

[chris_wizzudz]

Wow. George did a lot more for the industry than I thought. What an absolute legend.

[eskiltester]

What an amazing storyteller this man is..
I just can't find the words to express how good this man is at his job.
He gets it. He outgeeked Feloni on star wars and lives and breaths acting as if it was his oxygen.
I hated him in BSG. He was that good, He made me hate the character intensely.
He's a damn treasure

[donavanhillman]

100% my beliefs I've always had about George Lucas. He has NEVER gotten the acknowledgement for soooo much. He's right. Not even scratching the surface of what the man has accomplished. I too, am a George Lucas nerd, Mr. Witwer. I'm glad you speak up about it.

[snowdjagha]

This guys deserves his own movie. I'm still baffled how after all these years (and mainly now at the Disney stage of the SW universe) this hasn't happened yet.

[bertvanbeterbed]

I love how he just starts doing an improv stand-up segment halfway through and absolutely nails it

[Official_UnderWhere]

The thought of a haughty George Lucas saying "lemme light up a spliff" is going to live in my brain forever now 😂

[leroyjenkins]

What an awesome person Sam is! "No I paid for it myself." Flips his collar "Let me light up a splif." 🤣
