Its that time again for another round of quick fire questions.  This week we have Mike Rondeau of the most excellent Cantina Cast podcast.  If you haven't listened to The Cantina Cast yet then make sure you put it on your subscribe list.  Mike is joined weekly by co-host Joao Stinson and they discuss all the latest news and rumours on Star Wars VII as well as general chat on the wars.

Lets kick off.

You're stuck in a swamp on Dagobah. What one movie, TV show, album and book would you take? Movie: Clerks, I have to assume I’m already living in the Star Wars universe if I’m stuck on Dagobah(Which

If you could invite any three people (alive or not, fictitious or not) to a dinner party, who would they be? 
Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa Skywalker Solo and Anakin Skywalker. I think we could work out the family issues.

What is your favourite John Williams soundtrack?
John Williams 40 years of film Music. It covers all the classics we love.

I would hang out in Kathleen Kennedy's office. Hopefully her and J.J have a meeting that day.

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene.  Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in  Raiders of the Lost Ark ?  It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark.  Did a fly go in his mouth?

Have you seen other Star Wars VII movie posters?  Let me know. Rob Wainfur @welshslider
