105. Ben Solo / Kylo Ren | What Happened

The story of Ben Solo is complicated, and the movies don't exactly do this character justice as far as a complete story arc goes, we got to dig deeper, look at the novels and comics, and games for the rest of the answers we seek. Despite the films including Ben as a main character, he is portrayed primarily as a villain. Unlike the story of Anakin Skywalker, we begin to perceive him as a bad guy over a good guy. The focus of the sequel trilogy was on Rey, and today we want to dedicate an entire

We'll catch you guys up on her story a bit and chat about where she was and what's happened since, but my only recommendation is to watch Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels to really get the full picture and story.

175. The Rise of Skywalker | Commentary Track

The FINAL installment in the "Skywalker Saga"... Or so Disney marketed it to be. Not only 15 years ago we remember fondly when Revenge of the Sith was marketed simply "The saga is complete". As a fan, in my personal opinion it's been trying times to see this sequel trilogy unfold. Walking out of this film I thought "whelp, what's done is done". I never once thought I'd be saying that about any star wars film until the last 5 years flew by. I do not believe Disney had any right to complete George

Stay tuned at the end where we play footage of his reasoning for this. Now this film did break records, but made a lot of fans angry as well.

The first movie that kicked off the sequel trilogy was an extremely hyped film. Despite stellar reviews, some star wars fans (such as myself) knew it might be the beginning of a very different sort of trilogy than what we had seen before. Personally this trilogy is not my favorite in any way shape or form but it's still star wars, so we took our fair criticism to the commentary track and decided not to hold back on what we both like and dislike about this film.

The final film the original trilogy set a new bar for the pacing of films - modern films... lightsaber duels + starship battles + ground battle = "Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi".

From digitally resurrecting actors by the likes of Peter Cushing and Carrie Fischer to make CGI Tarkin and Princess Leia, it's incredible the technology, and the effort the artists at ILM put into this film.

But this choice has put her in new territory, growing up in the temple she knows no other life. Wh
