In this week’s episode, Pete and Nick are joined by actor, comedian, and lifelong Star Wars fan Paul Scheer! Known for his roles on The League, Black Monday, and as a host of the hilarious podcast How Did This Get Made?, Paul brings a unique perspective to the Star Wars fandom. He shares stories about introducing his kids to the saga and what it’s like to be a “Star Wars dad,” reflecting on the joy of passing the legacy of Star Wars down to the next generation.
But it doesn’t stop there. Paul also gives us an exclusive look behind the scenes of After Darth, a Star Wars parody streaming series he developed that, unfortunately, never got the green light. This ambitious comedy project was intended to premiere just before The Force Awakens, but Lucasfilm ultimately kept it from reaching the screen. Listen in as Paul reveals what could have been, and gives us a glimpse into the humor and creativity behind this unique project. Paul also shares insights from his book, A Joyful Recollection of Trauma, a hilarious and heartfelt exploration of his journey through comedy, Hollywood, and life as a Star Wars superfan. A link to his book is available in the show notes for those looking for more laughs and behind-the-scenes stories.
