Tom Spina: Restoring STAR WARS History and Making His Own

Today I'm talking to one of my new favorite people, Tom Spina, founder of Tom Spina Designs and Regal Robot. We talk all about his early inspirations, his experiences with the internet and growing a community, his restoring of original props at the Lucasfilm Archives ... and what is coming up for Regal Robot (including a brand new, exclusive announcement) The Dejarik chess sets are now on sale from Regal Robot, and, frankly, are jaw-dropping: https://regalrobot.com/ But, seriously, take some time, check out all of the incredible things they have in stock, and follow them on social media! He's such an inspiration to me and it was so great getting to catch up and nerd out. And thank you all again for your patience during this break from episode. I just started a new job, moving to a new city, getting married, and things have been crazy. Equally crazy, though, are our upcoming interviews, including Mick Garris, James Clyne, Michael McCormick and Amy Ratciffe.
