This episode the movie and literary origins of Star Wars are discussed. We dig into many inspirations, homages, and flat out rip offs. And we delve into Act II of the A New Hope.
We close out the first season with Dennis Small from the In Syndication podcast. We discuss to his reaction to watching A New Hope for the first time (and realizing he'd already read it), how the movies are like westerns, and whether Star Wars is political.
Jeremiah Perez from the A Feast of Geeks podcast steps up to discuss the original Star Wars trilogy, his preference for the extended universe side of the franchise, and give his views on the subtext of droids among many other things.
