It's the first in a series of episodes for Zach and Ben digging deep on the best - and the worst - of the original six Star Wars films overseen by the great creator himself, George Lucas. The Prequels go under the microscope this week, and it's all on the table. Ian McDiarmid's Palpatine, the use of (or over-reliance on) CGI for sets, and Jar-Jar, it's all here. See where the guys land and come back in two weeks for part two!

The New Jedi Archives is a comprehensive look at the Star Wars saga during all of its eras. Zach Hagenbucher is a fan from the very end of the Original Trilogy generation, and Ben Schultz is very much a part of that generation. New episodes drop every other Tuesday!
