WHO ARE THESE GUYS?
Keith Padin and Jon Gustaitis have been friends since sixth grade... and Star Wars fans even longer.
They share a love of writing, storytelling, and a good use for an investigative mind.
What started as a cross-country phone call discussing their favorite entertainment franchise, has grown into a year-long investigation for answers.
Together, they are setting out to discover why Star Wars has had an effect on the general populous in a way nothing else has in the history of entertainment - and how it has continuously done so for the past 40 plus years.
