Young Indy Chroniclers

THIS ADVENTURE, as Peter and Daniel embark on their new documentary project, George Lucas: The Lost Golden Age (now on kickstarter), they take a moment to look back on a proto-version of the documentary with a panel they hosted at Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025. Here for the first time is the complete panel they hosted to a standing-room only crowd in Tokyo earlier this year. The panel and trip in general was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity, and was a key part in convincing them that there was a hunger for a feature length documentary on the subject. There's still time to support the kickstarter! Every dollar earned goes directly to fund the production. Thank you in advance for your support.
