Willow was released in theaters in 1988. The film was George Lucas’ take on a fantasy epic. Unfortunately, it didn’t perform up to expectations in the box office, so a sequel film was never made. However, it did develop a cult following that spawned The Chronicles of the Shadow War novel series and a television series on Disney+. In this episode the cast discusses the film, the novels, and the Disney+ series. They talk about the elements within the plot, characters, performances, and production that made the movie great. Then, they get into the merits of the various spinoffs and what worked for those, what failed, and what they’d like to see happen in the Willow universe in the future.

Due to time constraints there is no five-minute controversy this week.

This week Beth, Ryan, Nate, and Anji join the cast.
