Who Really Owns Star Wars? Pete Fletzer on Fandom, Myth, and the Soul of the Saga
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

What Happened to the Ben Solo Movie? Plus Qimir’s Origin and Visions Vol. 3 Hype
This week, Matt flew solo to react to the breaking news that the Hunt for Ben Solo movie has officially been canceled. He broke down what might have led to the decision, and whether the concept of a post–Rise of Skywalker Ben Solo story made sense to begin with. His take? The story might’ve worked better as a prequel, exploring Ben’s fall rather than his Force ghost era.
Fan responses flooded in, with one standout idea gaining traction—an animated Ben Solo series following his early Jedi training and slow turn to the dark side. Matt loved the pitch and said it could offer the character a second life onscreen.
Matt also discussed the major Acolyte reveal that Qimir was originally planned to be the first Knight of Ren, confirmed by showrunner Leslye Headland and subtly teased in the Galaxy of Heroes game bio.
He wrapped up the episode with a reflection on the Top 10 Star Wars Visions shorts from Volumes 1 and 2, offering personal favorites and suggestions for fans to revisit ahead of Volume 3.
The episode closed with fan reactions to the Ben Solo news and another round of incredible Star Wars fan art picks from the community.

Who’s Really #1? Empire’s Star Wars Rankings Breakdown and Filoni’s Thrawn Future
This week, Matt and Nick reunited to finish what they started—taking aim at Empire Magazine’s Top 50 Greatest Star Wars Characters of All Time. This episode covered ranks 25 through 1, and let’s just say it was a mix of celebration, disbelief, and straight-up shade. Some picks made sense. Others… not so much. But the #1 spot? Things got very suspect.
During the Ask Us Anything segment, the guys tackled a hot question: How will Dave Filoni handle Thrawn’s fate in the Mandoverse? Will Thrawn go down in a blaze of villainous glory, get exiled, or pull off a shocking alliance with the heroes? Matt and Nick discussed all the most likely outcomes—and the ones no one’s expecting.
If you’re into ranking debates, character analysis, and wild Thrawn theories, this episode is right in your star lane.
