With Star Wars: The Force Awakens completing its long march towards world domination this weekend, we thought now would be as good a time as any to take a walk down memory lane, and try to determine what Star Wars means to us, as a series of remembrances from childhood. We talk about our first experiences with the series, what it was like growing up alongside the Prequels, and the ways Star Wars has evolved for us over time. And before all that, we also talk a bit about games – Sean reviews Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate and I talk the Uncharted: Nathan Drake Collection – and go through all this week’s big movie trailers, including X-Men Apocalypse and Star Trek Beyond. It’s a calm-before-the-storm sort of episode, but a fun one nevertheless.
