David now runs the production company Galaxy Productions.

Episode 70 - Andy Lemiere talks Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi: The Most Jedi Moment Ever?
Join Pete Fletzer and fellow Beyond the Blast Doors Network host, Andy Lemiere, for another edition of Metachlorians. This time around we discuss a recent meme that claims that final act by #LukeSkywalker in #TheLastJedi to halt the First Order army was the truest realization of Yoda's teachings. We'll dive into #RianJohnson's vision, what it means to be a Jedi, and the #notmylukeskywalker movement.
What does it mean to be a #Jedi? Was #Luke's sacrifice in #TheLastJedi the truest personification of what they stood for? Were his actions out of character for what we know of #StarWars lore?
