On this episode, Pete Fletzer tells us about his time at the long-gone Star Wars Galaxy magazine.

The curse words of Rick McCullum.

Just seeing him in action with that very chill voice that he's got and just, but he was pissed about something and he was telling Steve that they had to do something. And he was dropping F-bombs.

And then excused himself one more time, apologize to me one more time for interrupting, and walked back up the stairs.

And allegedly, George Lucas was in that meeting with him upstairs, although I don't know for sure.

Steve made a reference to it.

But that's – I like in my heart to know that

perhaps George Lucas was in the building when I was there at the same time. Not only that,

he sent his like, he's henchman. Right. He sent his Vader down to come. Down to Sand Sweet to

swear at him.

And Christian Slater's first-hand Phantom Menace review.

Plus, how his in-depth rewrite of the Phantom Menace led him to launching the Around the Galaxy podcast and a grip of Star Wars stories from the 90s to today.

A really fun chat with plenty of laughs.

This is Steel Wars episode 235, Pete Fletzer, looking back at Star Wars Galaxy magazine.

Hey guys, welcome to Steel Wars.

I am Steel Saunders, and I do love Star Wars. And each week we talk to someone of

interest about it and we are back to the old school, if you will, interview format, which we're

going to try to get in a run with. But I know several people had reached out and just like, get back to

the interviews. So we're here interviewing. And our guest is podcaster, former Star Wars Galaxy

magazine rider, which I'm very excited about. And I want to delve into this very um not often spoken about part of Star

Wars publishing but welcome from the around the galaxy podcast Pete Fletzer how you doing buddy

I'm good man how are you I am very well and we should point out for listeners this is sort of like a bit of a one-two punch, because I was just on your show around the galaxy talking about me.
