#128 - Bonus Time-Capsule Star Wars Discussion - Recorded October 25, 2020 - Now Finally Released

Discerning Geeks Portal

Welcome to a special Star Wars discussion episode...recorded 2.5 years ago on October 25, 2020. The episode was held back and intended to be used as a fill-in episode in case the Geeks ever missed a week. And...then...we didn't use it anyway...even when we could have. This is the 3rd and final lost/unearthed/time-capsule episode recorded in 2020. Check out the other two "lost" episodes, #122 and #125, which were recorded before the Geeks released episode #001 (I guess you could say these three lost episodes form our own...prequel trilogy). But, this episode was all about Star Wars, in general.

- Which Geek declared one of the prequels to be the best Star Wars movies, even better than "The Empire Strikes Back"? What were his reasons, and did any of other Geek agree with him?

- What did at least one Geek say was one of the major, fundamental issues with the prequel trilogy?

- Were Anakin and Padme soulmates? Is it obvious? Does one Geek think so?

- Where should the prequel trilogy probably have started?

- Which Geek(s) were fan(s) of the "Star Wars: Clone Wars" animated TV show?

- Which Geek(s) theorize that Disney could -- and maybe should -- remake Episodes I to VI of the Star Wars films? Do any of the Geeks think that's what Disney actually intended to do (until "Solo: A Star Wars Story" wasn't received as well)? What were the counter-arguments?

- What did the Geeks think about Episodes VII to IX of the Star Wars films?

- What did the Geeks think about "The Mandalorian" (at the time)?

- Which of the Geeks referenced the movie "Ice Pirates," which the Geeks recently reviewed in episode #126?

- What were the various opinions among the Geeks about whether new Star Wars material belong more on TV or the big screen?

- Which Geek stated eagerness to see the Star Wars book character Thrawn brought to life (not knowing that he was already in the "Star Wars: Rebels" animated TV show)?

Listen now for the answers to these and other questions, as this special time-capsule episode explores our Star Wars opinions from 2.5 years ago. And, be on the lookout for our next episodes when we have a recently recorded two-parter, ranking the Star Wars trilogy films and talking about Solo, Rogue One, and the Star Wars TV shows.
