I’d also like to take a moment to mention that I don’t 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.

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.

Alexander Gates currently lives in Honolulu, Hawaii doing a non-Star Wars related job, but is always ready to join the Lucasfilm family at a moment's notice. He's an avid podcast listener and wouldn't mind being on more. Outside of the Wars, he enjoys collecting beers on Untappd with his fellow Star Wars friend John, reviewing restaurants on Yelp with his girlfriend Kristine, and taking their dog Bagle [sounds like the breakfast food] for runs along the beach. He's active on social media, so feel free to say aloha: Facebook Alexander B.

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.

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. 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. And don’t forget to join us for the next full episode of My Star Wars Story, which will feature Mark Newbold.

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.
