Join Children of the Watch for a breakdown of the film that started it all, Star Wars: A New Hope. After concluding our Acolyte coverage, we've decided to revisit the Original Trilogy, breaking down the stories, characters, and more. We'll be discussing the first adventure of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo in depth, touching on the themes, behind the scenes production facts, and how newer Star Wars media like the Andor, Rogue One, and Obi-Wan Kenobi series inform our watching of this classic today. Next week, we'll be hearing your thoughts on the first Star Wars installment, as well as talking about some of our favorite personal memories with the film. After that, we'll be discussing everything that happens in between the events of A New Hope and The Empire Strikes back in our super nerdy Lore episode. We hope you'll join us on this ride!
