Chris takes the lead on the feature discussion this episode as he and Jonathan discuss the influences of Star Wars on bringing back Star Trek. They discuss the history of Star Trek in the early 1970s before the release of Star Wars in 1977. The film that forever changed the box office naturally had a huge impact on the Star Trek franchise and shifted the plan that Paramount had for its major science fiction franchise. All this, and of course all the news stories from the past two weeks on Episode 4 of CLL.
