In this episode, Rachael and Kirsty discuss the following news:
- Daisy Ridley speaks out about her and J.J.’s first meeting regarding ‘The Rise of Skywalker’
- Daisy comments on the commonalities between Rey and Ophelia
- Daisy speaks out about her emotions upon wrapping ‘The Rise of Skywalker’
- Daisy comments on whether she’d make a return to Star Wars.
This is followed by a spotlight on the topic of masculinity in Star Wars, where we draw on various theorists - including Robert Bly, Joseph Campbell and Robert Johnson - to consider the journeys and evolutions of the main male characters in the sequel trilogy: Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Poe Dameron, Finn and Kylo Ren.
