The Next 10 Years Of Star Wars Story Telling

Last week, Kathleen Kennedy mentioned on The Star Wars Show that the Lucasfilm Story Group is currently working on laying the groundwork for the next ten years of Star Wars stories.  And while it is fun to speculate what those stories may be, I'm interested in the new and interesting ways Lucasfilm will tell them.

Beyond the normal way of telling tales, such as novels, comics, television show and games, what other story telling tools could we see in the next decade?  Here are 5 possible ideas I came up with!  Enjoy!

Challenges

In the recent Vanity Fair cover story about The Last Jedi, writer/director Rian Johnson talked about the challenges faceing our favorite Star Wars characters in Episode VIII.  This got me to thinking... if I was writing the movie, what obstacles would I put in front of our heroes, and villains?  Have a listen and find out!

Five Star Wars Animation Ideas

As we recently learned at Star Wars Celebration, Star Wars Rebels is coming to an end after next season.  Well, what's next for Star Wars animation?  Well, if Dave Filoni and his crew need any extra ideas, here are five show ideas I am willing to share with them!

One Hundred Episodes!!!

So today is the day, a milestone has been reached...  Today is the 100th episode of less Than 12 Parsecs!

Today I look back at our first 99 episodes with that classic broadcasting short-cut, a clip show!  Can I do it in under five minutes?  Actually, no, today I clock in at just over six minutes, but it's the thought that counts!

If you haven't noticed it by now, I've changed the show logo.  This new design is from James Volpe.  Please check out his work at www.facebook.com/VOLPEdesign

And as I mentioned in the last MiniRig MiniEpisode (What? You don't know what a MiniRig MiniEpisode is?  Then you need to subscribe to the show on iTunes, Stitcher, or you favorite pod-catching app, as so not to miss these fun little one minute episodes!), today we are offering t-shirts!

I've set up shop on TeePublic, where you can get a shirt with the new logo, OR, if you like to rock it old school, you can also get the classic design as well!  Check them out at...

Looking ahead to the next 100 episodes, there is so much more I want to do.  But sadly, my lack of free time prevents me from accomplishing all of these goals.  (If I had free time, I wouldn't be doing a five minute podcast in the first place!)  Oh well, I'll have to just make do the best that I can.

Thank you so much for listening for these first 100 episodes.  And I hope you stick around for the next 100!  May The Force Be With You!
