Who really owns a myth like Star Wars—the creators or the fans?
Author and podcaster, Pete Fletzer, takes you on a mythic journey through fandom, storytelling, and the battle for the soul of a saga.
The definitive exploration of five decades of Star Wars fandom, the myths that shaped it, and the debates that keep it alive.
OUT NOW!
ABOUT THE WHO OWNS THE MYTH?
For nearly five decades, Star Wars has been more than a film franchise. It’s a living mythology—shaped by creators, challenged by fans, and fought over in every theater lobby, convention hall, and comment thread.
Who Owns the Myth? is part memoir, part cultural study. Author and podcaster Pete Fletzer draws on a lifetime inside fandom—running one of the first Star Wars fan sites in the ’90s, writing for Star Wars Galaxy and Insider, and interviewing actors, artists, and authors on his long-running podcast Around the Galaxy.
This book isn’t about toxic fans or “ruined childhoods.” It’s about how a modern myth became a shared possession—and what happens when millions of people feel ownership over the same story.

"Star Wars has never just been a movie. It’s a myth we’ve argued over, reshaped, and carried with us for nearly fifty years. This book is my journey through that galaxy—and I would be honored if you would join me."
