Ryan Gallego works with The LEGO Group on all of your favorite IPs – which means if there’s a movie or show for example, Ghostbusters, Jurassic Park, DC or anything that collaborates with Lego, he’s helping to make that happen! He’s worked on events & themed entertainment with such brands as Disney, Marvel & Lionsgate. He’s a massive Star Wars fan who came to the franchise through the re-release of the OT, but grew up with the Prequel Trilogy. And such a big fan that he had a Star Wars themed wedding. And if that sounds familiar, it’s because his wife, Jennifer, has shared what Star Wars means to her on this show and attributed her own re-ignited fandom for the franchise to being with him. Please give a warm “Hello there” to Ryan Gallego!
