Pete the Retailer
After spending over ten years as a Sci-Fi and Comic Book retailer, PTR is now the co-host of Nerd Geek Dork, a pop-culture podcast. Pete was once identified by the New York Post as NY’s ‘most hardcore’ Star Wars fan. He co-hosts the Star Wars Minute podcast.

October 26, 2016
On the second of three very special Star Wars trilogy episodes of I Was There Too, Matt is joined by Clive Revill who voices The Emperor in the pre-special edition 1980 film The Empire Strikes Back. Clive tells us about how director Irvin Kershner reached out to him for the role, finding the voice for The Emperor, and his thoughts on the final physical representation. Then, expert witnesses Pete the Retailer and Alex Robinson of the Star Wars Minute podcast join Matt to figure out who and actually what played the body of The Emperor during a new segment called Was I There Too? Plus, another classic Star Wars Superego sketch!
