JASON SUDEIKIS VOICES RED, THE ANGRIEST BIRD AND HERO! K-Z: Hi Jason! How did you get into character? J: I just took the anger I feel inside me, pulsing through my body at any given time, and channeled that into the microphone. They animate it and that’s it. K-Z: Have you ever played the game? J: I’ve played Angry Birds maybe 10 times because I love games. I love gaming, but I don’t use my phone much to play games. K-Z: Is Red calmer in this movie?

IF I OWNED ROBIN’S GAUNTLET FOR A DAY… I’d try and figure out how to turn off social media! MY FAVE EPISODE SO FAR IS DEFINITELY… The first one, for personal reasons. It was when we were all figuring out who Robin was and what this new world could be. I remember the excitement and fun we had exploring possibilities together. IF I COMPARE MYSELF TO ROBIN… I found so much of myself in her! I remember having fun with her parting phrase, ‘See ya’, every time I delivered it, because it was usually said when she had the upper hand and she loves everyone knowing it. I found her attitude to challenges easy to connect to; the belief that she can do anything she puts her mind to is…

K-Z : Real talk. Is this the old LEGO Star Wars games with some shiny new pieces? J: Nope. That’s not our style! The game is expanding, like the universe. It’s just getting bigger. It’s basically our love letter to Star Wars. K-Z : How big is that LEGO Super Star Destroyer? J: The Super Star Destroyer is 100 metres long. It’s over a million bricks. You can actually pilot the Millennium Falcon and dock into it, so you fly in and all the interiors are made of LEGO as well. K-Z : Did you build the Super Star Destroyer IRL? J: I don’t know if anyone built it in the real world. That’s a million bricks. That’s a lot of the budget on LEGO! We have software, and we…

1 SKETCHY SOLDIERS Start by lightly sketching the outline of a stormtrooper with your pencil. The head is pear shaped, with a crosshair to mark the centre of the face, and the eyeline. To create the body section, draw the short hot dog shape. Draw cylinders for the arms and legs, then two cylinders on top of each other for the shape of the blaster. 2 HEY THERE, BUCKETHEAD Draw a pair of triangular shaped eyes and a curved line above the eyes. Add a frowny ‘mouth’ below the eyes, ear pieces on both sides of the face, and then the dome-shaped top. For the rest of the helmet, draw the two round holes and centre details below the mouth, and then the wide cheek area and side details. 3…

FOR THE COMPETITIVE REBEL! STAR WARS PINBALL Did you know pinball was banned in big US cities, like New York City and Chicago, from the early 1940s to the mid 1970s? Fiorello LaGuardia, New York City mayor until 1945, even ordered that all pinball machines should be smashed and dumped into the Hudson River.

I STARTED PLAYING BASKETBALL... When I was four and my mum picked me up from kindergarten on a Friday afternoon to go to skills training. I always loved basketball – it was my number one sport! It was always my dream, for as long as I can remember, to represent Australia at an Olympic Games and play in the NBA. THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN... Pulling on the green and gold, for me! That has always been a dream of mine and I have never taken the opportunity to play for the Boomers for granted. I’VE BEEN PART OF BIG WINS, LIKE... The NBA championship, Olympic Games and Vic Country National title in Under 16s – but one of the most memorable wins was in Under 12s, winning a Division…

K-Z : What’s the skinny on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order? S: This is a game about a Jedi, or somebody who aspires to be a Jedi, or may potentially become a Jedi. K-Z : Sounds mysterious. How did you decide what to show off first in a Star Wars game? S: We make sure we have enough stuff that gives us a moment with Star Wars spectacle, but also core gameplay like lightsaber combat. K-Z : What makes for great Star Wars spectacle? S: An AT-AT sequence! You see the inside of an AT-AT for the first time. We worked with the crew at Lucasfilm to come up with the design – something faithful to what we expect would be in there. K-Z : Are there rules for playing…
