IN THIS EPISODE…
Welcome to another adventure within the multiverse! Grab your ty-fighter because we are journeying to a galaxy far, far away to talk about the Star Wars prequels. Or a rose by any other name being called "The Phantom Menace", "Attack of the Clones" & "Revenge of the Sith". While a large portion of this trilogy was set up to give us the back story of Darth Vader, one of the most influential and celebrated cinematic antagonists of all time. It also fleshed out the mythology of Star Wars with the Jedi code, the war of the clones, and more. While the prequels aren't always as celebrated as its brothers and sisters in episodes 4 to 6 - they still serve their purpose. They launched their own animated series in The Clone Wars, launched some awesome Darth Maul comics and let's not forget that awesome N64 podracing game. L.J. Lowery of Geeks Under Grace joins us for this dissection of nostalgia, mythology and cinematic function. What are your memories of these movies? Share with us in the comments below?
