A little later than planned and after a bit of a technical disaster we have managed to salvage quite a decent episode out of our STAR WARS DISCUSSION. 

To celebrate 50 episodes of the podcast we thought we could allow ourselves the pleasure of discussing one of our most favourite and also disappointing series of films - the Star Wars Franchise.  

In this episode we rank the films as based on our own sensibilities, and discuss why we love star wars, and also why we hate star wars.

Lucasfilm or Disney? CGI or Practical Effects? Luke, Anakin or Rey? Let us know on facebook which side of the debate you fall.
