James Earl Jones: A Legacy.

This week Matt and John take a moment to reflect on the tremendous impact of James Earl Jones, not just within the StarWars series, but within the acting community and culture as a whole. 

They nod to his immense influence on how they have come to appreciate all the facets of the acting craft, and the place he holds within the firmament of pop culture. They look at his past work, the ways he left an indelible mark on them, and how he secured his legacy going forward within the Galaxy Far, Far Away by thinking ahead and crafting things so he can remain a part of our culture so long as Darth Vader is there.

The Sinister Sith.

Join Matt & John on a deep dive discussion about the ultimate Star Wars villains - The Sith. They explore what made them great villains, what makes it necessary to move on from them, and why no attempt to recreate or echo them onscreen has truly reverberated outside of Lucas’ six films or the Clone Wars animated series. 

It’s time to kick off Spooky Season with the a close look at the Star Wars villains that have always chilled the pure of heart and tempted those characters seeking something more selfish than they should.

Plus it’s a call to return to the Legends era with a book club announcement in the spirit of the discussion!

The Anakin Decision.

This week John + Matt explore one of the core quandaries of the Star Wars saga - if Anakin’s training was so important, why didn’t Yoda handle it? If not Yoda, why not another member of the Council? If it was going to be Obi-Wan regardless, why not break tradition and have another Jedi Master train alongside? You might be surprised by some of their insights!
