This week we take our Star Wars conversation to the next level with special guest Nathan Dallon! Does the Star Wars of today hold up to the prequels? Should they? (21:30) Get ready to have your mind blown! Very few movies have generated more talk and garnered more loyalty than Star Wars, but why? Beyond its innovative filmmaking, these stories teach us about good and evil, and about ourselves.
However, fans left the most recent movie The Last Jedi, with a mixture of reactions. Were you confused? Mad? Pleased but bewildered? (1:06:50) Do you sense any political agendas written between the lines of this most recent bout of movies? (1:02:00) After so many changes in directors, will episode 9 be a patch job of The Last Jedi? (1:17:00)
We also get some great thoughts via voicemail from Jason Bentley on the kind of writing needed to sustain the Star Wars franchise. (1:35:00)
