Special Guest: Din from F-105

Din "Skysinger" (as he's known as on Facebook) and his band, F-105, has two new Star Wars inspired songs out, and he is making the rounds of Star Wars podcasts to spread the word about these awesome new tunes!  I cant tell you how much I am loving these songs! Today we chat about his inspiration, his love of Star Wars and Star Wars podcasts, and as much as we can squeeze into just six minutes!

And be sure to check back in a few days when Din comes back on the show to sit through my 10 Stoopid Questions.  Ten questions, and he only has ten seconds to answer each one!

Evan Pettit IS Rick Olie!

My enjoyment with the Twitter account @Rick_Olie_Quote continues.  I apologize if you've grown bored with this, but I have a few more episodes left in me on this topic!

Today on the show I sit down and chat with Evan Pettit, the man behind this account.  In just a few minutes he shares with me the origin of the site, we debate the pronunciation of Olie, and he shares a great story about his run in with actor Ralph Brown.

And of course, Evan will be back tomorrow to sit through my 10 Stoopid Questions, which will be all about your favorite pilot from Naboo, Ric Olie!

PS - Yes, I did mean to spell Rick with a K in the show title.  No need to bug me about it! :-p

Darth Taxus

Today, unexpected, Darth Taxus from "Starships, Sabers and Scoundrels" showed up on the show!

I had nothing planned for today, so I was going to just go to bed early, but then I got to chatting with D.T. (as he's known to his friends)(no, not really) and I decided to say "Hey, wanna do an episode?".  So, here's 5 quick mins with Taxus about what he's been up to lately in regards to his Star Wars fandom!

Special Guest: Ash from The Skyhoppers Podcast

As regular listeners will know, I've been trying to improve my Twitter game.  Well, I had an exchange recently with Ash from The Skyhoppers Podcast.  What did we talk about?  Something so cool that I had to invite her on the show!  Take five minutes to listen to our conversation, then come back to this page for more.

Back?  Okay, here's how you can win the Kanan-styled sleep mask.  Simply post a sleep-themed Star Wars photo on Twitter, use the hashtag #SleepyStarWars and tag both @TwelveParPod and @SWSkyhoppers.  What is a sleep-themed photo? Let us see your favorite Star Wars pajamas, or your bed with the Star Wars sheets, blankets and pillows, or maybe it's a photo of you snuggled up with your favorite Star Wars plush toy and bed time story book.  Or anything else you can come up with!

We will pull a name from random on February 28th!  Thanks for playing, and good luck!

Special Guest: Stephen from Roqoo Depot

Not to long ago I discovered a great website that is jammed packed with Star Wars, Sci-Fi and Fantasy news, reviews, editorials and interviews.  That site is Roqoo Depot.  Roqoo Depot also provides a great weekly recap and review of many Star Wars podcasts.  LT12P has been lucky enough to be on the list a few times.  And that got me wondering, who is doing all of this great work?

Turns out it's a gentleman by the name of Stephen, who goes by the screen name Skuldren.  I reached out to him and invited him on the show.  He graciously agreed to come on, and this is our five minute conversation!

And I just want to give a big thank you to Stephen for his patience.  Eagle-eyed listeners will notice that this is listed as Episode 49.  But I have already released Episodes 50 & 51.  Well, due to a technical glitch while recording, I did not capture the last 40 seconds of our discussion.  Stephen was extremely kind and patient and came back on the show a few days later to answer that one last question.  Thanks Stephen!

Oh, and yes, of course I made him sit through the 10 Stoopid questions.  Look for that episode tomorrow!

And one last thing, I am trying to track down Mike Schweg, bh1138 and Dexter Jettster.  These are the screen names of three people who left me reviews on iTunes or Stitcher, and who won prizes in our recent giveaway.  Please email me at TwelveParsecsPodcast@gmail.com so I can get your prizes into your hands!  Thanks!

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!

And don't forget, you have just 38 days to enter our end of the year Star Wars merchandise giveaway contest! Please see episode 30 for all the details! - http://twelveparsecspodcast.blogspot.com/2016/11/giveaway-contest-time.html
