Pete Fletzer shares how he became a Star Wars fan, seeing A New Hope, attending the premiere of The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan Kenobi, playing with the AT-AT, how he introduced the franchise to his children with the Prequel Trilogy and the Clone Wars, what he would love to see in the future of Star Wars and we go on an odd tangent about Nubs and the Young Jedi Adventures as well as the Wizard of Oz.

Pete Fletzer is a freelance writer who was best known for his work in the mid-90s for Lucasfilm and Topps’ Star Wars Galaxy and Star Wars Insider magazines. Discovered by Steve Sansweet, he wrote content about toys and collectibles, unique fan stories, and New York area Star Wars movie premiers. He was right in the thick of the Star Wars resurgence at the turn of the century, covering events like the Special Editions in 1997 and all three Prequel premieres. He authored almost 200 Star Wars questions for The Amazing Science Fiction & Horror Trivia Game. In the early 2000s, Pete stepped away from writing and disappeared from the public eye - other than issuing the occasional blog post. In 2019 he released his mammoth full-length fan fiction novelization of The Phantom Menace called Duel of the Fates (available for free download).
An accomplished voiceover artist, Pete can be heard weekly on his podcasts Around the Galaxy and Force Connect
