A show for Star Wars fans and non-fans alike comes to Chicago for the first time ever! Comedian Connor Ratliff ("Dead Eyes", "The Marvelous Mrs Maisel") appears as George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, and interviews guests like a "normal talk show". He is joined by sidekick Watto, played by Griffin Newman ("Blank Check", "The Tick"), and show producer Patrick Cotnoir ("ASSSSCAT", "Marvel", "The Chris Gethard Show"). The show has been running since 2014 and was a regular show at the UCB Theatre in New York City for years. It has been streaming on Twitch since 2020.

Previous guests include Seth Meyers, Weird Al, Whoopi Goldberg, Seth Rogen, Jack Quaid, Tatiana Maslany, Jon Hamm, Kevin Smith, Peter Serafinowicz, Ahmed Best, Jason Mantzoukas, Rachel Zegler, Lea Thompson, D'Arcy Carden, Tony Hale, and Aimee Mann.
