So we should applaud the new behind-the-scenes series on YouTube just launched by Disney and Lucasfilm, which actually manages to combine Disney PR (“look at our charity work!”) with fun stuff and exclusive content (including exclusive footage from The Force Awakens and an interview with sci-fi/fantasy film director Duncan Jones).

All that, AND a Mouse Droid mascot – plenty of reasons to tune in for the next episode, we think.
