    Episode Notes

    In this rebroadcast of the Return of the Jedi Episode, the guys talk Rancor Sadness, Special Edition songs and endings, crying to Star Wars music and voicing obscure characters. Seemed fitting since we spent so much time on ANH and ESB last month.

    And sorry for the not-so-good audio this round. Take a drink each time you hear a plane.

  • S2E3 - George Lucas - Part 1
    Nov 3 2021
    Episode Notes

    The man, the myth, the legend...George Lucas! Part 1 of our multi-episode dive into George Lucas. Ben & Josh talk THX, American Graffiti, auteur theory, up to the beginnings of Star Wars.

    **Also, about halfway through, there are some sound issues on Josh's end. It isn't terrible, but there are some pops throughout. Don't worry, there have been lots of late night "latency compensation" and "buffer length" searches, so it shouldn't happen in the future. Apologies for the lackluster audio at the end, though.

    Next month: The Star Wars Holiday Special!!!

    RERUN Time!

    Because of sound issues and scheduling fun, we're delaying our "George Lucas" episode(s) until November. Look out for a new episode November 3rd.

    We finally made it to Episode IX! The Rise of Skywalker gets fully discussed, as Ben & Josh discuss the positives (and negatives) of the final film in the Skywalker saga. There's talks of Chewbacca crying, Lando disappointing, Suicidal Finn (tm), Wedge's cameo, lightsaber battles, Han Solo, the emperor smashing, Rey and Ben, ReyLo, and much more.

  • S2E2 - Solo: A Star Wars Story
    Sep 1 2021
    Episode Notes

    Solo Bolo!! Ben & Josh tackle the Han Solo one-shot movie, where we meet Chewbacca and Lando, good music, bad cinematography, and medium Paul Bettany-ness. The fellas talk Anakin Skywalkering Han Solo and Knights of the Terras Kasi. And there's some light J.J. Abrams and Ron Howard bashing too, for good measure.

    New episodes the first Wednesday of every month.
