First of all, sorry for the soundquality. A big thank you goes out to listener Flo who helped me salvage a functioning epsiode from the wreckage that were curropted .wav-files.
We spent a whole episode talking about what was going on a long time ago in galaxy far far away. Star Wars influenced a lot of people and paved the way for a lot of things we enjoy today.
Of course we go off topic once and talk about Batman/Young Justice.
If you would like to to let us know about your answers to our questions, please get in contact with us. We'd like to do a a segment or episode with your thoughts on the franchise.

The title of this episode was inspired by this Photoset.

Here's the rundown of our talk:

• First time
• What makes Star Wars a classic for you?
• What about the prequels?
• The joys of an Expanded Universe?
• Did you read any books/comics? If so, what was your favourite?
• George Lucas: is a father entitled to to mess up his kid retroactively?
• Episode VII: worthy return?

• Do we need a new Star Wars movie every twelve months?

• Favourite scene
  
  

Corrections:

• The movie is not called The Wizard but Sorcerer
• Anakin Skywalker in Return Of The Jedi wasn’t played by Howard Shore, who is a composer and conductor, but by Sebastian Shaw who has been digitally altered to resemble an aged Haydn Christiansen in later releases of the movie.
• Actor Ian McDiarmid played the role of Sheev Palpatine/Darth Sidious/The Emperor in the Star Wars prequel trilogy as well as Return Of The Jedi.
• Ahmed Best the actor who portrayed Jar Jar Binks is still in business.
• Vader's meditation chamber was featured in Episode V and not Episode VI
