We're getting into a memorable yet nowadays still criminally underrated portion of STAR WARS history: The Dark Empire Comic Book Trilogy!

How do the official audio books compare?

Why couldn't Disney just make something else prior to writing these out of the Expanded Universe?

What ideas and other originality are strikingly memorable?

Like every May the 4th week, we love to tackle other material featuring a STAR WARS saga actor and it finally time to reflect on the ONCE WERE WARRIORS films starring Jango Fett portrayer Temuera Morrison!

Where do these films rank in the crime drama/gangster genre?

Why does the second film surprisingly become a redemption story?

And why not as popular as some of the other international hit films (despite the various quotes)?

Everything from bloopers, side chats to other amusing observations commence in this 55 minute endeavor.

Why is Billy Dee Williams the definitive voice of cool?

Does James Earl Jone's voice still strike fears into viewer's minds even when it's just a CNN ad?

And why are photos of Obi-Wan still mistaken as being portraits of Jesus Christ?
