Lauren & Rachel talk about Stars Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) on Episode 4 of the podcast and how Harrison, after two years of carpentry, without an acting gig, landed his first lead in a film. In between Rachel's attempts to recall the plot of Star Wars, the ladies discuss Han Solo New Hope/The Force Awakens parallels, Han Solo's original inspiration, and whether this franchise will have closure before we all die. Who shot first? Who cares!? (Or should we care?) Spoilers for TFA - so beware! Plus a contest announcement! This is the podcast episode you’ve been waiting for! Cue music!

Lauren and Rachel discuss The Conversation (1974), how Harrison used smart acting choices to turn a bit part into a larger role, and how it connects to Star Wars. Rachel recounts her trip to Disney World where she met Kylo Ren and Chewbacca, as well as how a friend of a friend sat next to Harrison at the podcasters’ favorite musical Hamilton. And at some point they talk about the movie. Also, fan mail and news!

Rachel and Lauren talk about their hatred for Harrison’s first real credit, the college comedy Getting Straight (1970), as well as Harrison's role in George Lucas's first movie, American Graffiti (1973). Rachel has a fangirl attack regarding the possibility of flying the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars Land at Disney, and Lauren(while attempting to do the podcast on DayQuil) is proven wrong about Harrison's scar. Also discussed: how saying no or yes is an important choice that can make a film career and how those choices changed Harrison’s life.

Episode Correction: Lauren's professor did not write The Conversation, but rather the 1959 drama The Connection. She would like to once again blame the DayQuil for this blunder.
