Happy Star Wars Day! May the Fourth Be With You! This week we're heading to Cloud City in search of an old friend. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, Georgia - and Ethan from Talking The Mickey - as we're trying to fix the hyperdrive and avoid getting eaten.  It's a Mandela Effect of a 66th episode as we discuss:

  • How the sequel came abou
  • The Mandela effect of the most famous line in the film. 
  • We moan a bit about the CGI that's been inserted into the film
  • Which famous line from the film was ad-libbed
  • Whether or not this is the best film in the Star Wars Franchise
  • Which face of the franchise was different due to an automotive accident
  • Who was most angry at not being clued in to the twist ending
  • We have a challenging discussion about fandom, nostalgia and a sense of ownership over media products
  • Whether or not The Empire Strikes Back is the Best Film Ever
  • Massive thanks to Lex Van Den Berghe for the use of 'Mistake' by Luckydog.  Catch more from Lex's new band, The Maids of Honor at https://soundcloud.com/themaidsofhonor
