MxPx Guitarist Chats About Star Wars

In my ongoing series on starwars.com of interviews with bands and celebs who dig Star Wars, I was thrilled to interview Tom Wisniewski, guitarist for the West Coast punk band MxPx.

He's a huge fan of the saga and he had fun chatting about his memories of watching A New Hope on VHS every weekend morning as a kid, as well as his own review of Revenge of the Sith.

Funniest quote from the interview:
"I'm more like Han Solo because -- 'I'm a loner Dottie, a rebel,' and I also am occasionally scruffy-looking," Wisniewski laughs. "Plus Han Solo would also make a good front man for some sort of bar band, and he'd fit right in with us."
