Is this where I post the trivia answer?
I believe the answer to the trivia question from podcast #60 is jawas and the artist who settled out of court was Neil Young. Stephen Sansweet’s book, Star Wars: From Concept to Screen to Collectible mentions this case from 1978 where small hooded creatures with glowing eyes shared the stage with Neil Young during a concert tour, in a tour film, and on the cover of the album Rust Never Sleeps. The case was settled out of court.
Is this where a answer this trivia question?
In 1978 Neil Young had “Roadeyes” who looked like Jawas and settled out of court with LFL.

Missed it by only 50 minutes! 🙁
I so wanted a set of cards.
Congratulations Sierra Trees-Turner!
Wow! Where were all you folks last episode! LOL
I guess the prize must have been more enticing this time. 😉
YAHOOOOOOOO! I’m so stoked. This was my first podcast.
Is it just me, or does the iTunes feed for this episode feature a video of a Spanish lady running into troopers? Can you please put the actual episode up there? Thank you.
Thanks for the heads-up, Ray! iTunes doesn’t like some of the links we put in the WordPress show notes. Trying to fix it now…
Thanks, Dean! Just listened to it, and it was awesome!!!
I have no idea what was going on in the spanish video in the itunes feed, but Vader gets all the ladies.
Hrm I haven’t heard from anyone on my email address about how to received the winning. Since I don’t know who to contact or how, I am just posting here to see what else I need to do. Anyone who can help out, thanks!
E-mail on it’s way, Sierra! Congratulations and thanks to all the listeners for giving it a shot this time.
Hey guys, just wanted to give you a heads up that you forgot Honorary Member Rich Molinelli in the October birthdays. His birthday is October 25th.
We didn’t have Rich’s b-day on record, but now we do thanks to you, Luis!
The iTunes version of this podcast doesn’t work.
We originally had a problem, but it was fixed a while back. I just tested and it seems to be all good!
