What happens when you get three Star Wars nerds into one chatroom? A 3 hour podcast, or a quorum of intelligent minds. Erin thinks Donnie Yen is the best person in the world, a fact she insists goes first, followed by yet another character she loves who wears amazing goggles. Matt appreciates being an only child after listening to Erin and Brennan bickering. Also, special guest Matt! The team discuss uncanny valleys, is Darth Vader a wuss, and how did giant Jedi monuments get made? Erin proposes that ancient Jedi used the force to cement sand together and then carved faces with lightsabers. The point is, this movie is amazing and manages to do something no other Star Wars has done: have no sequel and give us a new hope.
Franchises are built on hope. And money. Lots and lots of money.
Thanks, George.
