Ep 15: Star Wars Episode 1: The Menacing Phantom

Out of Memory

When one sets out to create something, it is assumed that one is not trying to piss off the totality of a fan base. But it is not known what lies within the mind of such an evil genius such as George Lucas. The entire Star Wars universe was birthed from his brain; what else could be lurking in the dark corners of his galaxy? Anyway, thanks for the first three, George!

Your Out of Memory boys are talking Star Wars this week! But there is no Luke or Leia or even Han Solo (Ford or Ehrenreich). They're taking it all the way back to the prequels, specifically Episode 1! This is the movie that started the love/hate relationship with this franchise if you don't count the Ewoks. Chris and AJ talk about the reedits of the movie in an attempt to salvage it, the unnecessary inclusion of politics as the primary conflict and of course Podracing! Also the tragically underused Darth Maul. They had a horrible time rewatching it for your enjoyment! So Enjoy, dammit! And may the Force be with you!
