The creator of Star Wars fandom remembers the father of anime fandom

The Fandom Files is joined by Craig Miller, who can rightly be considered a founding father of modern fandom. Miller was the Director of Fan Relations for Lucasfilm from 1977-1980, during which time he helped stoke the excitement for A New Hope and then build the anticipation for The Empire Strikes Back. He talks to us about building the Star Wars fandom (and what George Lucas thought of it all) and looks back on his friendship with Fred Patten, the father of anime fandom in the United States. All this and more in this episode of The Fandom Files!
