My Star Wars Story

Join Steve Glosson (Geek Out Loud!), Shazbazzar (TechnoRetro Dads), and My Star Wars Story host Scott Ryfun as they take in a screening of Rogue One and offer their insightful wit and commentary. You may never see Rogue One the same way again. Feel free to download this track, plug in your earbuds, and take it into your local theater for your next screening of Rogue One. We even include instructions for syncing the film to the podcast! Or you can listen to it as a standalone commentary, your call.

During the end credits we discuss the news (which had JUST come out as we were working on this) of the passing of Carrie Fisher.

Enjoy the holidays with this new take on a Christmas classic! MSWS host Scott Ryfun plays George Bailey, Doug and PB&J Otter creator Jim Jinkins plays Clarence the Angel, and Deal or No Deal winner and former Brunswick, GA Mayor Bryan Thompson plays Joseph and Mr. Potter. A very talented local Brunswick, GA cast helps bring this tale to life!

To tell your Star Wars story, please send your contact information to [email protected] and please be patient with me. This is a part-time endeavor and there is a LONG line of people who wish to be on the program. Because of some delays the last couple of months, look for some special bonus material to be released before the next episode, among the bonus material is my summary of the original Marvel Star Wars in Five Minutes, and a very special Christmas treat. And don't forget to join us for the next episode of My Star Wars Story, which will feature Karl LaClair.

I'd also like to take a moment to mention that I don't plan on attempting to monetize My Star Wars Story, but If you'd like to contribute to a similar but much bigger operation—I say similar because we both have a mission of the preservation of Star Wars history—please give whatever you can to Rancho Obi-Wan. It's tax deductible, too. Visit ranchoobiwan.org, and please give what you can.

Thank you for listening to My Star Wars Story and thank you for being a part of Generation Star Wars.

Laurie Goode's story is limited to his time on Episode IV, and the convention circuit, not exactly enough material for a full episode, so voila! The first MSWS Minisode! For those of you who don't know, Laurie Goode played a stormtrooper in Episode IV back in 1976. He also just happens to have banged his head on a door while filming a scene. Sound familiar? It should! Laurie's even written a song about it, called "Who Was the Stormtrooper Who Banged His Head", available in the iTunes store.

Portions of the discussion that were not directly relevant to Laurie's Star Wars Story were removed from the podcast. Some of these segments can be found as bonus material after the credits.

Also, I've never monetized this podcast, nor do I intend to, but if you want to do me a favor, you'll join Rancho Obi-Wan. It costs just forty cash-deductible dollars per year and you get a slew of benefits with that, plus an annual membership kit and first dibs on Rancho tours. When you purchase your membership, mention me, Scott Ryfun, as the one who referred you. If enough of you join and mention me, I'll become a Rancho Recruiter. The benefits? Pretty much a t-shirt and the title of Recruiter, but I'd really like to do that. And you will benefit from it as well. Head over to http://ranchoobiwan.org to join.

Special thanks to Ryan Shaw.

Also, I've been doing this podcast completely at my own expense for a year and a half now, and I've decided I want something for it. No, I don't want money. The best I'll get is a t-shirt. See, I've decided I want to be a Rancho Recruiter! All you have to do is go to ranchoobiwan.org and become a supporter, mentioning that Scott Ryfun referred you. It's only $40 a year, and you get exclusive access to tour tickets at Ranch Obi-Wan, as well as exclusive merchandise, not to mention a super-cool membership kit and a creative Christmas card! Your contribution will go towards maintaining the world's largest Star Wars collection and the museum that houses it. You also help cover the expense of providing free tours to schools and other special groups, plus you'll help fund charitable tour giveaways and auction items. Plus, you'll be helping preserve a record of one of the most transformative pop culture phenomena ever.

And did I mention it's tax deductible? It sure is! Look, I'm not asking you to do anything I haven't done myself. Please go and become a member of Rancho Obi-Wan today by going to Ranchoobiwan.org and registering. And if you don't want me to get the t-shirt, that's fine. Please become a member anyway. You won't regret it.

Well, we thought we'd be the first to do it, but it didn't work out that way. Steve Glosson and Scott Ryfun have put together the internet's SECOND Force Awakens commentary track. It's fun, it's funny, it's insightful. Enjoy! Take it with you to the theater listen in your earbuds!
