Ever dreamed of being caught in a heated debate about who shot first - Greedo or Han Solo? Or perhaps you're intrigued by the impact of computer animation on how we watch and experience films today?

Well, get ready to tickle your nostalgic nerve as we rekindle the magic of the original Star Wars trilogy, tracing George Lucas's inspired journey from conception to controversy. In this fascinating exploration, we'll also shed light on the significance of diversity in sci-fi, looking at iconic characters like Billy Dee Williams and Landau Cal Rizzien who shifted our perspectives.

In the second half, the conversation goes beyond galaxies far, far away to our very own Earth, where advancements in technology have transformed the cinematic landscape. We compare and contrast the use of visual effects in today's films like The Hobbit with classics like The Lord of the Rings.

But it's not all about the glitz and glamour of big screen effects. We'll also be discussing the importance of script quality and the profound impact it has on the overall success of a movie. So, whether you're a Star Wars fan, a film buff, or just intrigued by the evolution of cinema, this episode is a must-listen.
