We are playing a game by creating mini-marathons of movies featuring Star Wars actors in their non-Star Wars roles.

With a lack of Star Wars news as of the time of the recording, we decide to try something new. Many Star Wars actors are known for roles outside of their performances in Star Wars. Other actors famous for their roles in Star Wars don’t have as extensive a career.

In this game, we are challenging ourselves to create mini-movie marathons by pulling three actors’ names out of the proverbial hat and then picking one other movie each of those actors have appeared in. Some of the picks (we’re looking at you Harrison Ford) resulted in easy choices. Other picks (hello, Joel Edgerton) are a bit more challenging.

So, what do you think of our picks? Would you have picked different movies? Download or stream this episode and then let us know what you would have done by reaching out at one of our social media contacts listed below.
