Minisode 1: Laurie Goode

06/06/16 • 38 min

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. I’ve set up a page for donations at http://donate.ranchoobiwan.org/Ryfun. 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.
