Grumpy Old Man Pants

I love talking Star Wars with anyone and everyone.  But, a recent conversation with a younger fan forced me to put on my grumpy old man pants.  I don't consider myself curmudgeonly, but I was feeling that way the other day!


I'd love to hear your perspective.  Is there not enough Star Wars to keep you content?  Or are we living in a new golden age?  What's your personal history with this epic?  Let me know!

Going Classic Kenner Collection Crazy!

I love me some alliteration!

This episode is the first in a series of shows I am going to do as I try to build a collection of classic Kenner Star Wars figures.  I don't have any right now, but I hope to eventually collect them all!

And you can help!  Have any extra figures you can share, or sell to me?  Please, let me know!  Listen to the show, and then email me at TwelveParsecsPodcast@gmail.com.




Here are the display cases I mentioned in the show.  Pretty nice, eh?

Sit back and enjoy as Derek tries to answer 10 stoopid Star Wars questions, with only 10 seconds to answer each of them!  Let us know how you think he did!

Three Things

Man-oh-man, a two minute podcast is hard to do!  In fact, I don't think I've made that goal yet.  And I've faied at it again today.  This show clocks in at three minutes.  I'm sorry for taking up so much of your time! (Originally, this segment was going to be called "Five Things", but I had to edit myself down due to the time restraints.)

 Today's topic is three things I want from Star Wars.  Star Wars fans are a pretty demanding crowd, and these are my top three demands!

I'd love to hear what your demands are!  Email me, leave a comment below, or connect with us on social media.  Thanks!

10 Questions with Jason Collier

Today's episode brings the first installment of "10 Questions", where a guest has to answer 10 Star Wars questions, and they only have 10 seconds to answer each question!

My first guest is my old pal, and partner from The Expanded Fandomverse, Jason Collier.  Jason is a collector, a fellow member of the 501st, and in 2005 was named "The Ultimate Star Wars Fan" by Access Hollywood!  Let's see how Jason stands up to the pressure!


If you would like to have a chance in the hot seat, just let me know!  I welcome one and all to be a guest on Less Than 12 Parsecs!  Email me at TwelveParsecsPodcast@gmail.com.

Episode Zero!

After months of saying "I think I'm going to try this."...
After weeks of saying "I'm actually working on this now!"...
And after days of finally doing it...
Here it is, Episode Zero of...
Less Than 12 Parsecs!  The Fastest Star Wars Podcast In The Galaxy!


We're off to a slow start with this episode, which is basically just a short version of what's on the "All About LT12P" page.  You can also hear a lengthier version of this story on a recent episode of The Expanded Fandomverse I sat in on.  I tell the tale at the 31:50 mark.


Come back, because I promise it can only get better from here!

PS - Also, I just wanted to say that yes, there is a lot more work to do around here.  I need to get this show up on iTunes and Sticher and Feedburner (right now we are piggy-backing on the Expanded Fandomverse feed --- I have a hard time with all that RSS stuff, so give me time), I need to set up the Facebook page (you're nothing without a Facebook page!), then I need to think about YouTube and Google+ and a billion other places to share the show!  Ugh!  Anyway, give it time, because I don't have a lot of time to spare!  (You listened to ththe episode, right?!?!?!)
