(ETG 34) Do We Have Too Much Star Wars?

Published on: 12th September, 2023

A long time ago in... Well, this galaxy, George Lucas brought us Star Wars. Even though we all know Han did in fact shoot first, we have always had plenty to ponder and debate. In December of 2012 the Star Wars universe was sold. Disney purchased Star Wars and began to attempt to reign in years of fan fiction and extended universe material. They begin to determine what would be cannon and how to shape the Star Wars Universe moving forward. Fast forward a decade, and we have so much Star Wars that they could teach a college class on it. The question that we are asking ourselves now, is do we have too much?

My name is Chris Parsons, and about 5 years ago, I started a podcast with an old computer and a microphone that I found on eBay. The title of that show was Entertain the Geeky. More than anything, ETG served as a means of filling a void, which my sales job had left in my life. I was no longer part of the nerdy industry that I loved; I had sold out. It couldn't end like that! So, I got in touch with a friend who worked at a comic book shop, with me, and asked if he would be interested in hanging out on Sundays and recording this goofy show with me. He was on board and we were off to the races. More than anything, we over-promised and under-delivered. We started designing tabletop games, we onboarded sponsors, and we started a second title. With plans for a third show and a bright future ahead of us, we pressed on! Life had a different plan... I left my sales job and moved. Recording slowed drastically and ETG started to die. I started an online business, and went to work part time for a gaming store, with another friend from the comic shop that I used to work at. He like me, loves to talk and we decided to,(you guessed it) start a podcast.
We started the show Who Wears the Pants, and have had a blast pushing through the almost therapeutic recording sessions. My co-host started a new business and it reminded me of the birth of my first show. I was able to look back and see some of what I had done wrong , with podcasting in particular. I had arrived at the conclusion that I had only began to scratch the surface of my potential within this domain. The growth and potential of ETG and the fulfillment of WWTP existed somewhere in a new show. Here we are now. With a new show that focuses on the extraordinary that exists within the seemingly normal. We are only slightly average.
