Hello there, #StarWars friends! We're ForceCenter!

We celebrate Star Wars through our joy for both the profound and absurd sides of the Saga.

Themes, deeper meanings, and engaging with the stories presented to us fuel what we do as we enter our 11th year!

Check us out and say hello!

It's Bandcamp Friday where artists get 100% of proceeds. Any funds from purchasing one of my comedy albums or (1920s cosmic horror story) would go directly to helping me finish work on my feature horror film, DEAD MEDIA. It would also make me happy
