Join Pete Fletzer and fellow Beyond the Blast Doors Network host, Andy Lemiere, for another edition of Metachlorians. This time around we discuss a recent meme that claims that final act by  #LukeSkywalker in #TheLastJedi to halt the First Order army was the truest realization of Yoda's teachings. We'll dive into #RianJohnson's vision, what it means to be a Jedi, and the #notmylukeskywalker movement.
What does it mean to be a #Jedi? Was #Luke's sacrifice in #TheLastJedi the truest personification of what they stood for? Were his actions out of character for what we know of #StarWars lore?

In 1999 the very first Star Wars Celebration took place in Denver Colorado. It was not without it's challenges. From torrential 100 year rains to the tragedy at Columbine days before. However, Dan Madsen of the Lucasfilm Fan Club and Scott Chernoff of Star Wars Insider led the charge and it became one of the most memorable and important Star Wars fan events of all time.

David Ortiz was born after the Shadows of the Empire multimedia story telling project was released in the mid-90s. But that isn’t stopping him from turning the tales told on Nintendo, in books, comics and multimedia into an epic multi-part fan film.

Dani, aka @SemperFiDani, was one of Around the Galaxy's first fans. And since this show is about the PEOPLE behind the fandom, we wanted to get to know her. Born the day before Star Wars, she only became a fan a few years ago after seeing The Force Awakens on television. She is an avid fan fiction writer and reader and is a friend to the Reylo movement.
