Breaking News: Lord & Miller Fired!
As you probably know by now, it was announced yesterday that Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the directors of the Han Solo solo movie, were let go by Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilm. Well, as a Star Wars Podcaster, I am obligated to give you my opinion on this matter. Here are a few minutes of what I, someone who knows very little about the movie making industry and the inner workings of Lucasfilm, thinks about all of this. ;-)
Here are some articles about the situation...

Star Wars Thoughts and Feelings
I haven't just been away from the show for three weeks (see yesterday's episode$, I was also away from Star Wars for most of that time. Which lead me to some new thoughts and feelings about Star Wars.
Today's episode is a bit of a rambling mess, but it was something I wanted to get out of my head and share. --- Thanks for bearing with me as I slowly get myself back up to speed. The "fun" version of LT12P will be back soon, I promise!

Mom
Hey there, I am back. Sorry, I've been away, unexpectedly. Sadly, my mom passed away. So, I've been away dealing with all of that.
Today, I felt that I should share a few Star Wars themed stories about my mom. Thank you for letting me share. After this, I promise that LT12P will be back on schedule! Thank you for your patience and understanding.

How Big Can It Get?
A thought popped into my head today... How big can Star Wars get? Well, instead of thinking about this, I turned on my recorder and just started babbling. What came out of my mouth isn't very well thought out (heck, it's not thought out at all!), but it's something I think I'll share anyway!
I want to hear your thoughts on this subject. Just how much bigger can Star Wars get? What does a world that is even more into Star Wars look like to you? Let me know!

10 Stoopid Questions with Jason Flatt from the Holy Star Wars podcast
Jason Flatt from the Holy Star Wars podcast is back, this time to try my 10 Stoopid Questions. Ten questions, and only ten seconds to answer each one.
Now, if you have been paying attention, today's questions will sound familiar. That's because these are the same ones I asked Nathan Roberts a few days ago. Normally, I do not reuse questions, but I HAD written these specifically for Jason, so I thought, what they heck, why not. Enjoy!

Podcaster Spotlight: Jason Flatt from Holy Star Wars
As I continue to slowly work on The Star Wars Podcast Master List (www.StarWarsPodcastMasterList.com), I discover more and more shows that I had never heard before. And every now and then, I find one that is unlike anything else I have ever heard before.
One such show is Holy Star Wars, by Jason Flatt. This show is intelligent, thoughtful and deep. I've learned a few things, and looked at Star Wars a little different now, thanks for Holy Star Wars. Today, I am happy to Jason on the show for a brief chat.

From TV to SW
There is a rumor going around this week that Sam Esmail, the creator and write of Mr. Robot is in talks with Lucasfilm to write and or direct an up coming Star Wars stand alone film. (http://screenrant.com/star-wars-anthology-writer-mr-robot-sam-esmail/). Well, this got me to wondering... who else could make the jump from television to Star Wars. Well, here are five people I would like to see make that leap!

My Non-Recap Recap of Star Wars Celebration
I have been off-line for the past four days, which also happened to be the same for days at Star Wars Celebration in Orlando!

See ya in 2019!

Celebration Predictions Part Two
On yesterday's episode, I shared with you my predictions for the news and surprises we would get out of Star Wars Celebration. However, after I record the episode, I went back and listen to it, and found that my predictions were a little... mundane. A little too easy. My predictions were a bit predictable.
Well, on today's episode I try to think bigger, think outside the box, and try to come up with some predictions that a bit less predictable!
PS - hey, if you're at Star Wars celebration and listening episode, let me know! Send me a selfie! And if you really like the episode, please, share it with another con goer who has yet to hear Less Than 12 Parsecs. I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

Bonus Episode #0005 - The Why Behind LT12P
Today's episode is nearly 10 minutes long, thus it's a bonus episode. That's the LT12P way; any episode over 7 minutes is labeled a bonus episode!
Today I get more personal than I ever have before, and answer a question that multiple have asked me. I'm not that great at "sharing", so please forgive me as I bumble through the story I have to tell.

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!

Fantasy Star Wars Encounters
I am titling today's episode "Fantasy Star Wars Encounters". No, it's not about some hook-up app for Star Wars cosplayers looking for love, but rather, it is an idea I stole from Dennis Keithly, from the great podcast "Starships, Sabers and Scoundrels". You'll have to give it a listen to learn more!
After you take six minutes to listen to me (yes, I'm a little long winded today), please be sure to check out the great work Dennis does. You can find all of his links below!

Gut Reaction: Lego Star Wars The Freemaker Adventures Season Two
The trailer for Season Two of the Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures was released today. To say I'm excited is an understatement! Here is my "Gut Reaction" to the trailer. (In my excitement, I forgot to say "Gut Reaction" in the show, but trust me, this is a LT12P "Gut Reaction" episode, for those of you keeping track at home!)

The New Era of LT12P Begins!
That's it, I'm done. I hit 100 episodes and that's good enough for me. I'm hanging up the microphone and calling it quits.
Don't worry, Less Than 12 Parsecs will continue on without me. Starting today, my son Declan will be taking over the show. I'm not really sure what he's going to do with it, but I trust it will be interesting.
So please enjoy this new era, this new generation, this is new... something?

Paging Doctor Freud
Somethings been weighing on my mind lately. It's a bit of a personality quirk that I have, that I don't like. Today I want to share my "issue" with you, in the hopes that you can give me some feedback about how I can improve this Star Wars related... problem? I'm not sure that is the right word, but please, take five minutes to listen and then tell me what you think!

MiniRig MiniEpisode #0008
I don't normally post MiniRig MiniEpisodes to the site, I just drop them into the feed, but...
There is no new episode of Less Than 12 Parsecs tonight, because I spent the evening celebrating the 1000th episode of Star Wars 7x7 with my buddy Allen Voivod, along with his friends and family. Allen kindly let me sit in on his live stream from the party. Honestly, I thought I would just be popping in to chat with him for a few minutes, but I ended up stay for it's entirety. I hope I didn't over stay my welcome! Anyway, thank you to Allen, his awesome wife Lani, and everyone else who was there, online and in person, for such a great evening. Heres to the next 1000 episodes!
