Our new co-host gets started by sharing what Star Wars means to her! A prequel trilogy kid, we start with her Five with the Force, discuss her passion for Attack of the Clones, her love of droids, how Polly Pockets and her Star Wars figures shared a universe, the ways in which the franchise inspired her to be eco-concious and take up the fight to protect the weak from oppressors, catching up on The Clone Wars and her childhood fear of animated shows, the origins of her name Elora and how it links back to Willow and, even further back, to the name Skywalker,

For years, Elora traveled the world with a band of pirates on a mission to save whales. After handing over her Jolly Roger t-shirt and steel-toed boots, Elora came ashore to earn her master’s in Communication Leadership and Digital Media at the University of Washington. Currently residing in Los Angeles while her husband is in medical school, you will likely find her at Disneyland. When not in the happiest place on earth, she might be spending time with her cats (Binx & Oliver), visiting her family in Seattle, or cooking pasta (more than one should ever eat). If you are still reading this, which she suspects you very likely are not–she’s just begun raising her own bees. Wish her luck. At 17, she spent an entire day interrogated by Japan’s Customs & Immigration office for the crime of filming a whale slaughter. She strongly believes that Andy Tennant’s Ever After is the best Cinderella story ever told.

Star Wars may have the largest and most diverse fanbase in all the galaxy—but every fan has their own certain point of view. So, tune your comlinks and join Star Wars enthusiasts, Dave (an OT kid) and Elora (a PT kid), every week for an in-depth conversation with a different devotee from all walks of life across the Star Wars fandom universe. Plus, it’s just FUN to talk about Star Wars. To bring balance to the fanbase, each episode we’ll delve into our guests’ personal Star Wars fandom story, and from that point of view, we’ll celebrate the power of the Force. Strap in, ignite your passion for the galaxy far, far away, and find out: What Does Stars Wars Mean To You?
