A rising tide lifts all speeders and the tide of Star Wars fandom is most definitely on the rise. Some of the most talented members of the fan community have gotten together for a new blog and podcast. FarFarAwayRadio.com is the home for a new blog and podcast that will become a regular stop in my digital Star Wars pub crawl.

I loved what Andrew and Austin did with EUCantina and Solosound, I think Chris is a very talented and opinionated writer and I am excited to learn more about Jason.

When Austin approached me about writing a guest post for their website I was honored and very happy to do so.  Here is a bit of what I wrote, you can read the full text on their website, “GUEST COLUMN: WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT STAR WARS? BY PETER MORRISON.”

Friends, we are entering a Star Wars renaissance. The decision of George Lucas to step back, entrust his creation to Kathleen Kennedy and Disney has opened up the Star Wars franchise to unlimited cinematic opportunities. For longtime fans of the franchise this can be an unsettling time; much of what we think of as “our” Star Wars is an amalgamation of George Lucas’ vision and the visions of a plethora of other creators operating under license from Lucasfilm in various mediums such as video games, comics, and books.
