• 3:49
  Speaker 2: The big hallway, they get the medal. They all get medals.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's kind of like the Wizard of Oz.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone but Chewy. But that's another story. They assured
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: us that Chewie got a medal.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Uh huh, like the Oscars where they have the technical
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: awards given the night before. It seems to me he
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: was the most important part of that because he talked
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Han into going back.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Anyway, See we're getting off on a tangent here.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Uh. The Medal of Yavin, specifically the one that Mark
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Hamill wore Luke Skywalker is up for auction. You can
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: own it now, I own a fact simile, but this
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: is the actual This is the actual one. Uh. It's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: going up for auction. They think it's going to get
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: about six hundred thousand dollars.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Is it made of space gold? No, it's mad stardust.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: It doesn't say.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: But according to the auction preview, this medal originates from
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the collection of a prop man, Gerard Bork. This and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Harrison Ford's medal, held in a private collection are the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: only two examples of this prop known to exist, and
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: presumably the only two made for the film. Oh, this
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: is the first and only medal to be offered for
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: public sale. So they're testing the waters with Luke's and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: then they'll really get you with Han Solo's medal with
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the auction. But so you can look that up and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: find out when to bid on that.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Let's see.
• 5:20

  Speaker 1: in charge of DC Studios now. He does all the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: DC comic book characters, and he was going to do
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a Sergeant Rock movie. It's an old comic book. It's

  Speaker 1: have a lot of details, just that he has dropped out,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I thought he would have been perfect for this role.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Let's see. And finally this two things that will get you.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: First of all, I'll get you hooked with Natasha Leone
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and then I'll really I'll reel you in with the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: name of the movie that she's going to be.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: In, Basketful of Heads. Yeah, that's all I needed to hear.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I could read you what the movie is all about
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and everything.
