Special Guest Ryan Dassing

Today's episode is a quick discussion with listener Ryan Dassing.  Ryan wanted to discuss how the sequel trilogy could possibly play with the idea of Anakin Skywalker being "The Chosen One".  It's a big topic, but we only have three minutes, so we only touched the tip of the iceberg.  - Have more to add to the topic?  Let me know!  Email me, leave a comment below or connect with me on social media.

And come back tomorrow, when I force Ryan to sit through my ten stoopid questions.  Ten questions, and he only has ten seconds to answer them.  How will he do? Find out tomorrow!

Action Figure Number Five

As long time listeners will know, once a month I purchase a classic Kenner Star Wars action figure.  Well, it's time to unbox this month's figure!  I go in blind, purchasing figs from friends who know what I have, but I dont know what I've purchased until I open the box.

This month's figure comes from Jason Collier, my old pal from The Expanded Fandomverse Podcast.  He also sent me the first two toys in my collection.  Have listen, or watch the video version, to see what he sent me this time around!  And, be sure to check out his shows as well!

NOTE: The audio on this episode is a little "off".  I don't believe that my microphone was plugged in all the way, so the the built in iPad mic was recording the audio, thus it's a little weak.  Sorry about that, and thank you for bearing with me!

Bonus Episode #0002 - The Radio Drama Retrospective

(My apologies to Jason Collier for stealing his show title.)

It's another bonus episode!  Remember, any episode over five minutes long is a bonus episode.  ---  Part of why this episode is so long is because I needed to tell the back story behind the episode.  Then, my special guest and I then discuss the awesome Star Wars Radio Dramas.  Who's the special guest?  Sorry, you'll have to listen to find out!

And be sure to check out Jason's great show, The Radio Drama Retrospective.

My Non-Political Political Post

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of episodes lately, but I've been a little under the weather. Feeling better now, so I promise there will be much more to come this week. Thanks for bearing with me!

So this episode today is a non-political political episode. What does that mean?  Well, I've seen a lot of real world politics this week creeping into my Star Wars activities online. And I feel like I had to comment on that. I don't take sides, I just had something I wanted to say. --- Please have a listen, and let me know what you think. I always appreciate the feedback.

Podcasters Spotlight: Stephen Kent

With Election Day just two days away here in the United States, it's time to get political!  Don't worry, I found a way to do it with being decisive and partisan.

Instead, I invited onto the show Mr. Stephen Kent, co-host of the great podcast "Beltway Banthas".  So, enjoy this installment of our Podcasters Spotlight segment.  And, be sure to come back tomorrow, when I make Stephen sit through 10 stoopid questions, with only 10 seconds to each one!

And don't forget, the Less Than 12 Parsecs merchandise giveaway contest continues.  Simply leave us a review on iTunes and/or Sticher to get your name entered into the hat for some fabulous prizes.  Contest runs through January 1st.  See yesterday's post for all the details! - http://twelveparsecspodcast.blogspot.com/2016/11/giveaway-contest-time.html

NOTE: Stephen was kind enough to talk with me as he and his family were driving to Orlando, Florida to visit Walt Disney World.  Occasionally, our connect would drop out, and his sentences would be cut off.  I have edited around these dead spots.  I just wanted to let you, the listener, know that if Stephen's thoughts seem incomplete, they are not, it was due to technical difficulties.  Stephen was kind enough to offer to re-record these parts, but I did not want to intrude on his family vacation. Thank you Stephen for the offer! Hope you're  having fun!
