Charlotte and Caitlin continue their Skytalkers Machete watch series with Return of the Jedi. They discuss elements of the story and answer: is it believable that this is the conclusion to this trilogy? Special edition ending celebration ending or yub nub? In part two, they dive deep into the character study with each main character. What is Luke dealing with in this film and how is it presented? What are our theories on how Leia “remembers” Padmé? Finally, they answer many questions from Twitter, namely what do you think of Force Ghost Hayden Christensen and much more.

#skytalkersmachete: A New Hope

Click here to download the episode directly!

This edition of #skytalkersmachete is all about 1977’s Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. We spend some time responding to a listener email, then move into part 1, which is all about the film’s story. Part 2 really gets into the characters. We ask questions like: are these characters well developed? Why do we respond so much to these core characters? In part 3, we evaluate where this fits in in our updated Machete Order, which puts The Phantom Menace in the front. All this Star Wars discussion and more on this episode of Skytalkers: This Galactic Life!
