In 1977, we got A New Hope. In 1999, we got the start of A New Context. In 2015, we got A New Breed of Star Wars films and characters, and this week, Ben and Zach start their conversation about that new breed. The boys watched Episodes VII and VIII back to back to see how they fit together, both with each other and with the larger Star Wars mythos. If you've been struggling with appreciating the new Star Wars films, this is the set of podcasts for you. Start by downloading today, and come back in two weeks for Part 2!

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!
