Episode 184 We are joining in on the global lightsaber battle that revolves around the movie of the week. Rian Johnson wrote and directed the latest installment in the Star Wars saga that has many debating the merit of the film. Our old friend, the scruffy nerf herder himself, Jon Mitchell, is back to help us discuss Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi.

Episode 77 We continue our preparation for the new Star Wars film by continuing our social service and introducing another installment in the saga to our Lucasfilm neophyte. Our bud, Joey, is back to discuss The Phantom Menace and to prove to the world that George Lucas got the prequels right.

From Esquire , George Lucas has revealed that none of his ideas for future Star Wars episodes will be used by Disney. Prior to Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012, the filmmaker had penned treatments for Episode VII with the intention of directing the movie himself. However, Lucas revealed to CinemaBlend that JJ Abrams's Star Wars: The Force Awakens will depart from his ideas entirely. "The ones that I sold to Disney, they came up to the decision that they didn't really want to do those," Lucas said. "So they made up their own. So it's not the ones that I originally wrote [on screen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens]." Lucas is returning to movies with Strange Magic, an animated film he produced and conceived the storyline for. It will open in US cinemas on January 23.
