We are aware Pete sounds a bit like C-3P0 due to an audio glitch. Apologies for the fail.
Author and longtime Star Wars voice Pete Fletzer joins the Star Wars Time Show to talk about his new book, Who Owns the Myth? Star Wars, Fandom, and the Soul of the Saga.
We explore what makes Star Wars a living myth — how it became something bigger than its creators, and why fans feel such deep ownership of the galaxy far, far away. Pete dives into five decades of fandom, George Lucas’s evolving legacy, and what it means to love a story that belongs to everyone and no one.
In this episode:
How Star Wars became a modern myth
The line between fan passion and creator intent
Disney’s role in shaping the saga’s legacy
Why Star Wars still connects — even through conflict
