TRIGGER WARNING: This episode lightly touches on the topic of mass shootings, particularly in schools.

Darth Vader has always been the villain you love to hate, but there are many in the Star Wars fan community who have never hated him at all. As long as Star Wars has existed, this icon of evil has towered over it, but the reality and the ramifications of his actions seem to go unnoticed. Is it right to buy a T-shirt with the man behind the genocide of the Jedi on the front? Well, it just might be ok, and Ben and Zach are here to talk about why. It's a winding conversation that goes off the rails on occasion, but there's plenty to love in this edition of NJA. Download today!

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!
