Welcome back to Ahch-To Radio! In today's episode, Alden is joined by author, digital writer, humorist, & friend of the show, Kelly Knox! Kelly returns for two funny reasons: First and foremost, to discuss her book, Star Wars: Dad Jokes. But she's also here to unpack the overall comedy of Star Wars. We explore the process of writing the jokes, building off of social media, and bringing comedy into our everyday lives. And then we take a larger look at the jokes in the saga, the most comedic characters, the history of Lucasfilm parodies, & more. Be sure to check out Kelly's website here, follow her over on Twitter, and get your copy of Dad Jokes here! Follow @AhchToRadio on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and our YouTube channel!
