The SciFi Diner Podcast Ep. 510 – Interview With Stephanie Czajkowski; Celebrating Star Wars

This week on The SciFi Diner Podcast, we celebrate 49 years of Star Wars and reflect on the galaxy far, far away that shaped generations of science fiction fans.

We talk about our very first encounters with Star Wars — the moments, memories, theaters, toys, and characters that pulled us into the saga and made us lifelong fans. From childhood wonder to the evolving legacy of the franchise, we explore what Star Wars has meant to us across nearly five decades.

We also dive into:

Reviews and reactions to the current Star Wars landscape
The state of the franchise today
Thoughts on The Mandalorian and the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu film
What’s working, what’s dividing fans, and where Star Wars may be headed next

Plus, we share our interview with Stephanie Czajkowski recorded at the Shore Leave Convention, where we discuss her work, fandom, conventions, and her experiences in science fiction storytelling.

Whether you’ve been a fan since 1977 or joined the rebellion more recently, this episode is a celebration of the stories, characters, and community that continue to keep Star Wars alive.

May the Force be with you.
