It's been nearly two years since we discussed all things Star Wars and what better time than when we all got teased with the further adventures of Luke Skywalker and crew.
Episode 25 takes us back to that fateful summer when the most highly anticipated film of our lives (at the time, it's been replaced by "Glitter" now) landed. It's a tumultuous time when we first discovered the word "Spoiler" (thank you Marvel comics!) and the heart break of us watching the bad guys win.
Of course along the way we discuss kenner action figures, competitive collecting, modern fandom, battle beyond the stars, Jason's fondness for the Ewoks and give absolutely no opinion on the current trailer.
Show Links:
- Jason almost was late for school watching this interview with Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill
- Billy Dee Williams on "The Jeffersons".
- The Empire trailer narrated by an overzealous Harrison Ford.
- A nice smattering of Kenner Empire Strikes back commercials.
I spoiled myself with the big reveal in "Empire" by reading a kids novelization of the movie. What the novelization didn't reveal was that Luke got his hand cut off. I could not believe that when I saw it.
