Portions of the discussion that were not directly relevant to Mark’s Star Wars Story were removed from the podcast. Some of these segments--and it was hard to choose; our original discussion lasted four hours-- can be found as bonus material after the credits. To tell your Star Wars story, please send your contact information to story@mystarwarsstory.com and please be patient with me. This is a part-time endeavor and there is a LONG line of people who wish to be on the program. And don’t forget to join us for the next episode of My Star Wars Story, which will feature Alexander Gates.
I’d also like to take a moment to ask you to give whatever you can to Rancho Obi-Wan at RanchoObiWan.org and remember, it's tax deductible.
Thank you for listening to My Star Wars Story and thank you for being a part of Generation Star Wars.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
