Listening to scope of the activities covered in the course of this broadcast was inspiring. It really made me proud to be a member of the 501st.
Thank you for the sizable effort to make this happen. When it comes tyme to interview the April 2004 TOTM, I would like offer to do the interview.
Be well,
Thomas
Not until this morning I had time by listening to this episode of cast.
Review is what I was told not to be but a minor spoiler here specially for the cast listener.

Throughout the movie, Asoka [doesn’t] respectfully call Anakin as “Master” but simply address by the nickname invented by herself “Skyboy”.
hey this is doc from the itunes podcast: Heroes of Science Fiction and Fantasy, episode 24 features interviews with the 501st. The 501st podcast is mentioned in this episode -as in other interviews (from previous shows)when Star Wars becomes the topic. website www.heroesofsciencefictionandfantasy.com voicemail 1-206-333-1297
Mark Hamill received his honorary member badge at Celebration Japan
The only thing I can think to answer the podcast question is that Mark Hamill was given a Honorary Membership, but I believe he got that a few years ago.
