    DB, What Does Star Wars Mean To You?

    DB from Hyperspace Heroes shares what Star Wars means to him! He first saw Star Wars in a small-town theater as a kid which led to his love of the galaxy far, far away. We chat growing up with and collecting Kenner toys, connecting with R2-D2, how his fandom went into hibernation during “the dark times”, waiting in line to see The Phantom Menace, the Imperial Commissary Collectors Convention (The ICCC), how fandom is for everyone, how A New Hope is the only movie from the franchise that works as a stand-alone movie and of course his Five with the Force!

First we react to our Mitch & Bailey chat, sharing what we took away and were inspired by their Star Wars fandom. Then we recount our adventures in downtown Seattle for ECCC. We didn’t have to go to a galaxy far, far away to run into Darth Vader, Ahsoka Tano, Boba Fett (The Ralph McQuarrie version), and so many Imperials! We chatted with Cosplayers about what Star Wars means to them, did a blind unboxing of a lightsaber, got some cool geek treasures, visited The Star Wars Experience (a highlight for me every year) and hung out with droids and droid builders. Plus, we pull back the curtain on our Hayden Christensen photo op experience. And the whole time, it felt like the Force was with us, proving Star Wars is more than a franchise, it’s a community!

    Cantina Chatter: Opinion Wars - How Does the Original Trilogy Stack Up?

    https://www.teepublic.com/user/what-does-star-wars-mean-to-you?utm_source=designer&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=S-U65Jr9ZKo This week we Cantina Chat with Brown Leader one of the hosts of the nerd-centric pod Hypserspace Heroes! First we chat our take aways from what Star Wars means to author Jendia Gammon (Vale of the Seven Dragons, Choose Your Own Adventure: Dungeon Crawl at the Haunted Mall). Then we welcome back Brown Leader to join us for Opinion Wars (a title that is still WIP)! We all know the critiques of the Prequel Trilogy and the Sequel Trilogy, but can these same critiques be said about the Original Trilogy? It's Opinion Wars - where we look at reviews from the Prequel Trilogy or the Sequel Trilogy to see if those same critiques can be applied to the Original Trilogy! Using real reviews from the time of release and infamous internet comments we see if the same could be said about A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi. Is there clunky dialogue? Wooden acting? A "Mary Sue"? Can some of the harshest critique actually describe the holy trinity of trilogies? @brown_squadron on Instagram Brown's Facebook group Brown on YouTube Brown's Website Brown Leader is from the podcast that features three Gen 1 Star Wars fans just trying to make their way in the Star Wars podcast Universe. On their show, HYPERSPACE HEROES PODCAST they also cover science fiction and nerd culture, having guests that have included Star Wars authors, actors, film makers and other podcasters (including us!) One of the questions they ask all their guests is, What Does Star Wars Mean to You? And today, we get to turn the tables and find out What Does Star Wars Mean to him.
