Star Wars Rewatch VI: Return of the Jedi
As we come to the conclusion of the original trilogy, our conversation turns to the force and the evolution of its mythos. With the prequels behind us, we remember the unfortunate way Episodes I - III dig into the mechanics of the force, and discuss what it means to turn to the dark side or remain true to the light. We also look at the way Star Wars plays it safe in terms of story, as well as depictions of violence. How badly did George's desire to sell toys compromise his original vision? Or was selling merchandise his original vision all along? And on the forest moon of Endor, strong colonialism vibes as the violent invaders recruit a native population into fighting their war for them. And did the Rebel Alliance have sexy Bothan pin up girls on their spacecraft? Into the sarlacc pit we go!
Discussed: Jabba is the 1%, Bothan pin-up Girls, gaming chairs, hijinks, bad boys, and merchandise.
Harmy's Despecialized Introductory Guide
Star Wars Rewatch is co-hosted by William Suitt, Rebekah Markillie, Cam Call, and Travis Lien, who also produces and mixes the show.
