(SPOILERS BEGIN 33:04 into the podcast - note the appearance of the vintage Burger King Empire Strikes Back commercial. Cool?)
So, what happens when Disney/Lucasfilm decide to forge ahead with not just new 'Episodes' in the Star Wars saga - finally completing that much touted 9-episode arc Lucas talked about decades before - but do spin-off films, movies that explore the universe? And it's.... another prequel. Episode 3.5 we might call it. Or episode 3.87 or something since it takes place mostly in the literal week before the beginning of A NEW HOPE happens. There won't be any fan service, non at all... say, who is that in the icon image here...
We saw Star Wars: A Rogue One Story (or, no wait, scratch that, it's the other way around of course!) and we had our faithful friend... oh wait, what's happened to him? He's now (cue John Williams score) DEATH STAR MATT (of the website https://mattthecatania.wordpress.com)and he's here to talk with us (plus a cameo that may amount to fan service for fans of Jack's wife, Korey Hughes). What'd we think? You'll have to listen to find out.
