102. Andor S1E11 Reaction and Discussion
November 22, 2022 20:50 - 46 minutes - 43.3 MBThis is the Way Podcast sometimes runs into production trouble. Host Steve Loscalzo is now a "one man show" and with family obligations, even thorough preparations, recording can be tricky. The podcast episode is still out before the finale. The episode is fantastic. The space battle between the Arrestor cruiser and the Fondor haulcraft might be one of the host's favorites. Ultimately, this is a "set up" episode for the finale, but the writing and acting is such high quality that it doesn't...
101. Andor S1E10 Reaction and Discussion
November 13, 2022 02:14 - 50 minutes - 46.9 MBThis is the Way Podcast's 101st episode is out on the third anniversary of the first ever post. A lot has happened since that preview of coverage of The Mandalorian. There's no real fanfare for this one. I didn't know what to expect on episode one, but now I've settled in to what it's like to podcast about a show I'm truly enjoying and if you're a listener, thank you! If you're not, well, then...you like reading the "show notes" I guess, huh? Episode 10 of Andor is a "capper" for what is re...
100. Andor S1E9 Reaction and Discussion
November 05, 2022 19:33 - 59 minutes - 54.7 MBIt's This is the Way Podcast's 100th episode! Almost three years since the debut alongside Disney Plus and The Mandlorian, season one. No special episode or fireworks...just our reaction to the latest episode of Andor along with our recap of important scenes, shots, and any secrets we find and discussion with you, our listeners! Episode 9 is called Nobody's Listening! and at times that's how it feels to be a Star Wars podcaster. Plenty of people are watching Andor, but the last few Disney ...
99. Andor S1E8 Reaction and Discussion
October 29, 2022 01:49 - 1 hour - 58.6 MBWell, it was bound to happen. Episode 8, "Narkina 5" may have been the least enjoyable season finale of all the Star Wars episodes on Disney Plus. Except, it isn't the season finale. That's right! We get four more episodes after this one! Still, this might have actually been the weakest episode, but that's not really a dig against a show that has raised the bar for Star Wars television (or streaming, or whatever you call this new age of media we're getting off the airwaves). We see what ...
98. Andor S1E7 Reaction and Discussion
October 25, 2022 14:21 - 51 minutes - 47.7 MBIs this show getting better each week? Announcement is the latest episode and since the writer only has this one episode, it's possible it's a standalone and not the first of a story arc, but something tells me we're going to continue with Keef's (Cassian's) incarceration, so we can call it part of the arc anyway. We thought tears would flow during The Eye last week, but Maarva delivers the gut punches, the I-S-B has some eyebrow raising developments, and it turns out you can't just avert y...
97. This is the Way Podcast October 2022 News Update
October 18, 2022 11:59 - 16 minutes - 15.7 MBIt's October and Andor is halfway done. Somehow we've managed to still get a couple of news items out of it and as always, we keep tabs on collectors and gamers. It's the Disney Parks news that has us hoping someone manages to spark a rebellion. House of the Dragons and The Rings of Power both vacate the scene with season finales this month and that means Andor and Tales of the Jedi might get more eyes on screens. Star Wars content will always be king (emperor?) at This is the Way Podcast b...
96. Andor S1E6 Reaction and Discussion
October 17, 2022 19:36 - 42 minutes - 39.2 MBWriting "chef's kiss" just isn't the same as emoting it. What a great set of episodes. Tony Gilroy teed things up with episodes one through three and Dan, his brother, really brought the rebellion home for us. Somehow, we also gained a little understanding for the people working in the Empire as well. Beehaz may actually be a terrible human being, but he's also trying to make his family happy and get them off Aldhani. Turns out his heart was really never into leaving the planet. The mission...
95. Andor S1E5 Reaction and Discussion
October 11, 2022 16:01 - 49 minutes - 45.6 MBThe best keeps getting better, but we hear the commentary from fellow podcasters and fans about this being a slow burn. One prominent YouTuber even warned that a "slow burn" is fine as long as it doesn't turn into a "no burn" kind of show. I think next week is going to bring all the action we can handle emotionally. In the meantime, more set up, more characters filling out backstory, and more reasons to mourn the ones that won't make it off Aldhani with the credits. Who is Uncle Harlo? Is i...
94. Andor S1E4 Reaction and Discussion
October 02, 2022 00:15 - 52 minutes - 48.5 MBStar Wars: Andor's first three episodes are a smashing success in the opinion of This is the Way Podcast. What would our show name have ended up being if this was the first Disney Plus Star Wars show instead of The Mandalorian? Showrunner Tony ("Toe pick!") Gilroy turned things over to his brother Dan ("The Man") and dialogue and action are still in good hands for the second trio of episodes, or so it would seem. Is there anyone Stellan Skarsgard couldn't act opposite and make it feel epic?...
93. Andor S1E3 Reaction and Discussion
September 23, 2022 18:30 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MBStar Wars: Andor's first three episodes are already available and showrunner Tony ("Toe pick!") Gilroy set a high bar for shows in a galaxy far, far away. The dialogue is terrific and the acting has complimented it and the camera work and direction haven't gotten in the way. Will it be the best show from LucasFilm on Disney Plus? It's got a shot and that's saying something. Syril Karn and Timm Karlo could have been buddies in a different life. Maybe even closer than that, like mortal enemie...
92. Andor S1E2 Reaction and Discussion
September 22, 2022 19:17 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MBStar Wars: Andor "went live" with three episodes on September 21st, 2022, but instead of covering all of them at once and consuming all of them at once, host Steve Loscalzo decided to cover each episode one at a time, one a day. Three episodes in one day is a lot to handle! It's a great show so far, so that's made the work more enjoyable. It helps when the writing and acting has been superb and in the second episode, there is no sophomore slump, even though the pacing is slow. This was desi...
91. Andor S1E1 Reaction and Discussion
September 22, 2022 01:33 - 36 minutes - 33.5 MBIt's here! The newest Star Wars show went live on the Disney Plus streaming service with three episodes (a complete story arc) on September 21, 2022. This podcast will cover the first episode and the first episode ONLY. In fact, Steve restricted himself to watching just the first episode to make it easier to compartmentalize each part of the story. What a story! Tony Gilroy does not disappoint in his showrunning and script. It's clear that it's a welcome departure from some of the terrible ...
90. This is the Way Podcast September 2022 News Update
September 15, 2022 15:08 - 15 minutes - 14.1 MBEarly September saw a Disney Plus Day and a D23 expo and yet, news is light. Also, we're at the point where we don't even feel like mentioning when shows will stream anymore, because Disney's "non-announcement announcement" policy is so bad, they must use disappearing ink. In a month where dragons and magic rings are dominating the streaming platforms, we get a really cool show before the movie with Andor (as a lead up to Rogue One). The clips thus far have been fantastic and I trust Tony G...
89. This is the Way Podcast August 2022 News Update
September 01, 2022 03:00 - 11 minutes - 10.8 MBAugust has 31 days, but it sure felt short on news. Nevertheless, the podcast must go on...because...um... Nothing much happened this month according to Disney, but that's because they decided to get sneaky. If LucasFilm doesn't announce the change, can you hear a redwood fall at Skywalker Ranch? I grow tired of the way things are being handled, both at the parks an on the small screen. This month there is a note about Han's blaster, stuff about Knights of the Old Republic and KOTOR II, a...
88. This is the Way Podcast July 2022 News Update
July 30, 2022 20:59 - 18 minutes - 16.7 MBAh, vacation. It's been nice; enjoying nature and experiencing summer somewhere other than in 95 degree heat and 70% humidity all the time. Now that's we are back at the rebel base, we wanted to collect some thoughts about recent "news" (if you can call it that) and get in the mental space preparing for Andor AND The Bad Batch, season two. I hope this episode is the first and last time I ever recommend AGAINST reading or giving business to Star Wars, but Disney better stop with the agenda o...
87. This is the Way Podcast June 2022 News Update
July 01, 2022 03:31 - 7 minutes - 6.75 MBI’m not sure news from Star Wars: Celebration in Anaheim way back in May constitutes news in late June. As it was, we planned for the eventuality that all our “news” would no longer be new by the time we finished our double podcast episode treatments of each Obi-Wan Kenobi series episode. It’s a function of releasing mid-month which is the best time for This is the Way Podcast to produce the news updates. Forgive us if we resort to a rundown of the upcoming schedule and a “hot off the press...
86. Obi-Wan Kenobi S1E6 Part VI Recap and Discussion
July 01, 2022 03:01 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBAll six episodes of the Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series are available now on Disney Plus. Bottom line: does This is the Way Podcast recommend watching? OF COURSE. It’s STAR WARS. Is it GOOD Star Wars? Eh. It’s not awful, but that’s not a glowing recommendation, now, is it? There were plot problems throughout the show. Some resolved, but the resolutions weren’t skillful craft by the writers. In some cases, it was the sheer knowledge that some things could not change that kept the show on the ...
85. Obi-wan Kenobi Part VI First Thoughts
June 25, 2022 06:48 - 30 minutes - 28.5 MBI've seen things like "Finally! An episode that lives up to the hype!" and "Obi-Wan Kenobi can't deliver in the finale" and "Obi-Wan ultimately wasn't even about Obi-Wan" and I think the answer lies in the point of view. If you loved Reva, you probably love her underdeveloped arc. If you love Vader, you probably love how he's still obsessed with his master, but still shows great skill with a saber, metal legs and all. If you love Luke, well, you're probably disappointed with Disney's sly li...
84. Obi-Wan Kenobi S1E5 Part V Recap and Discussion
June 21, 2022 20:47 - 48 minutes - 44.5 MBHow about that? A new writer comes in and the story gets better. That’s not magic. That’s just someone with better storytelling skills helping turn out the best episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi yet. "Best" is certainly a relative term, but when you have Vader being awesome, Obi-Wan and Anakin dueling once again and revenge on Reva instead of the other way around, it’s bound to be better than at least the last two segments of stories in this limited series. There’s echoes and tone poems and rhymin...
83. Obi-wan Kenobi Part V First Thoughts
June 16, 2022 05:37 - 47 minutes - 44.3 MBIt was devastating to morale to watch others claim credit for being the first to notice things that our podcast posted first. There's no use screaming to the heavens about it because if people don't listen to our podcasts and make the same observations, it probably wasn't some great mystery that This is the Way Podcast was first to solve. Seeing ideas we had several weeks back pop up NOW on YouTube was a little more strikingly painful, but I'm not supposed to be doing this for credit. It doe...
82. Obi-Wan Kenobi S1E4 Part IV Recap and Discussion
June 10, 2022 18:30 - 48 minutes - 44.9 MBNow, I don’t want to go off on a rant here… LucasFilm needs to hire me to take a look at “final drafts” of scripts…or anyone who is a fan of good television. The writing places us in situations in part four of the story that are unnecessarily bad and we shouldn’t have to ignore our way out of trouble to enjoy the show. It isn’t hard here to see ways the story can be exactly the same, but more believable and still exciting, but we get things like Stormtroopers who don’t notice Obi-Wan in the...
81. Obi-wan Kenobi Part IV First Thoughts
June 08, 2022 15:47 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MBWe made such an effort to "be first" with great observations, theories, and content, but even being first and accurate doesn't lead to more downloads or listeners. For the fourth episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi, I decided to try and enjoy it more, but I found myself going off on tangents after taking notes so often it was apparent that the problems I have with the show outweigh the excitement and awe I have with what's happening in the story of Star Wars right now. The story isn't bad. Leia has b...
80. Obi-Wan Kenobi S1E3 Part III Recap and Discussion
June 01, 2022 23:26 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MBThe third Obi-Wan Kenobi episode started streaming less than a week from episode two. Part Three gave us our answer of who would voice Darth Vader. It also gave us the first lightsaber duel between the two since Mustafar (Revenge of the Sith). Padme's daughter continues to shine in her role (in our opinion) and Reva's character seems to fit better even if only by a mote. Steve still feels strongly about the backlash on valid critiques of the episodes and adds sound mixing to his sources of ...
79. Obi-wan Kenobi Part III First Thoughts
June 01, 2022 11:45 - 22 minutes - 20.6 MBThe Star Wars fandom really seems to be forever fractured. Just when you think there are reasons for coming together, some idiots post dumb things on the internet. That's not even the worst part, which you'd figure would easily be the worst part (and I'm sure it's that bad for the actors targeted). No, the worst part is the "over correction" that happens from every well meaning (and some not so well meaning) "fans" who then scour the internet for any contrary point of view and lump them all ...
78. Obi-Wan Kenobi S1E2 Part II Recap and Discussion
May 29, 2022 23:02 - 42 minutes - 39.2 MBThe second of two episodes released on Obi-Wan Kenobi series day one is, oddly enough, called Part Two. I would bet heavily that the next episode in the series, the third one, will be called Part Three. We not only get more young Leia in this one, but we get Ben and Leia TOGETHER. They're the most talked about duo since a beskar plated cultist and a long eared, big eyed, green skinned, sack wearing alien of mysterious origin. The show STILL can't get a foot chase right, but we're less conce...
77. Obi-wan Kenobi Part II First Thoughts
May 28, 2022 07:17 - 18 minutes - 16.7 MBSeason One, Episode Two of Obi-wan Kenobi arrived early just like Episode One. I wonder if there was anyone out there that said to themselves, "You know what? I'm watching these things out of order." No one? I mean, this is 2022, so there had to be at least one person, right? This is the Way Podcast released an episode on Friday, May 27th (well, two actually) without the requisite quality control and somehow, audio was shifted, perhaps due to an errant clip deletion during the exporting pro...
76. Obi-Wan Kenobi S1E1 Part I Recap and Discussion
May 28, 2022 00:31 - 29 minutes - 27.6 MBThe space wizard wasn't late, nor was he early. He arrived precisely when he meant to. Well, okay, it WAS earlier than we expected to get episodes one and two of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The usual release window of 3 AM eastern was changed at Star Wars Celebration to give fans a better chance to see the show, which honestly we felt was a strong possibility and it was a welcome one. Shortly before midnight, both episodes popped up on Disney Plus and Steve binged them both immediately. Part I was near...
75. Obi-wan Kenobi Part I First Thoughts
May 27, 2022 10:00 - 19 minutes - 18 MBSeason One, Episode One of Obi-wan Kenobi didn't just arrive, it arrived early. Parts 1 (and 2) became available on the Disney Plus streaming platform shortly before midnight on March 26th, having been moved up a few hours in an executive decision announced from Star Wars Celebration. The early release was appreciated. This is the Way Podcast immediately got to work and truth be told, notes have been taken and podcasts have been recorded for both episodes already, but a mountain of editing ...
74. Obi-wan Kenobi Preview
May 26, 2022 07:33 - 13 minutes - 12.4 MBOrder 66 seems to have caught up to any and all co-hosts. Transmissions from the Jedi Temple revealed too many in hiding and now, Steve is going "solo" for the newest Disney Plus Star Wars series. Obi-wan Kenobi debuts Friday, May 27th, 2022 with TWO episodes of the six episode limited run. Well, it's limited until Kathleen Kennedy and LucasFilm says it's not, right? This show could be a huge success and we've already heard Ewan McGregor say he'd love to give the 'ol space wizard another cr...
73. Star Wars: Visions S1E9 Discussion
May 25, 2022 04:31 - 23 minutes - 21.8 MBDo not listen to this episode if you loved Akakiri. Yeah, sure we finally rank the nine episodes of Star Wars: Visions at the end, but it won't be worth hearing how much the host didn't like this episode if you enjoyed it. Steve's issues with Akakiri almost left HIM in a "red haze" and if this had been episode one, there might not have been any coverage of the series beyond a single general thoughts episode. Maybe that would have been best, but so much time was invested in really giving thi...
72. Star Wars: Visions S1E8 Discussion
May 20, 2022 03:51 - 18 minutes - 17.2 MBThis is the Way Podcast learned about two parts of anime culture through episode 8. Steve knew they existed, but didn't really understand the terminology. There's "kawaii" and there's "manga effects" and neither of them are important to storytelling, but are certainly a big part of anime. If those things appeal to you, then "Lop and Ocho" might serve you a terrific Star Wars story. If those things pull you out of the suspension of disbelief you need to enjoy the story, the eighth episode of...
71. This is the Way Podcast May 2022 News Update
May 18, 2022 04:47 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MBContent waits for no one. When the Vanity Fair article hit the 'net on Tuesday, it threatened to make a relic of Steve's hard work. Should he have buckled down Sunday and released both his latest Visions review podcast AND the monthly (on the 15th) news update? Yeah, maybe. He also could have done the news update first and then released the Visions podcast on Tuesday. He didn't. Vanity Fair's article is out. There are SOME details, but you know what? There will be more at Star Wars Celebrati...
70. Star Wars: Visions S1E7 Discussion
May 15, 2022 03:19 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MBIf you had to pick a project to retire after, it's hard for me to think of a better send-off than Star Wars. Me? No, I'm speaking about Masahiko Ôtsuka, going out with a strong message for the young after many years as a creator of anime. The episode wasn't a long one, just 15 minutes from first shot to the start of credits (the Filmmaker's Focus episode that goes with it lasts less than 7 minutes). It felt even shorter because of the long pauses, the determined nature of the moral of the s...
69. This is the Way on May the Fourth 2022
May 04, 2022 04:01 - 23 minutes - 21.6 MBThere are special episodes and then there are episodes that are special. This is both! For "May the Fourth" in 2022, Steve interviews...his father. Impossible you say, Luke? Nonsense. Yes, we are well aware that Mother's Day is right around the corner. Steve's mom will have her own time to shine here on This is the Way Podcast. Today was a short interview about remembering Star Wars for the boys. Nevermind the head scratching you'll hear from time to time in the audio...Steve's dad's head i...
68. Star Wars: Visions S1E6 Discussion
April 26, 2022 16:41 - 21 minutes - 19.5 MBStar Wars: Visions? Visions. Now that's a show I've not podcasted about in a long time. A long time. More than four months and 17 episodes since our discussion of episode 5 in season one, and rumors have discussed the release of season two. Originally, Steve thought he might wrap all the episodes into one podcast and gloss over the anime, because it's not his favorite medium for storytelling. After watching just one episode, Steve realized there were stories that can transcend the medium. I...
67. This is the Way Podcast April 2022 News Update
April 15, 2022 04:00 - 31 minutes - 29 MBSometimes content creators have reasons to try and get ahead. With the week of April's news update release coming with a holiday and work on a second podcast as well, Steve thought he'd clear up family time with a Tuesday recording session for a Friday release. What could possibly be so big that couldn't (or shouldn't) wait until May if it wasn't in the April update? Well, a few things, actually. C'est la vie. An O-B-K delay, Andor release rumors, Ahsoka rumors squashed, The Bad Batch and ...
66. This is the Way Podcast March 2022 News Update
March 15, 2022 21:37 - 19 minutes - 18.2 MBMarching onward in 2022, we've got the Obi-wan Kenobi series teaser trailer to mention, a rumor we're kind of hoping isn't true about Grogu (but we don't spoil anything, just in case), and have some videos to recommend if you're thinking of spending a small fortune on a trip to the "stars" near Hollywood Studios in Orlando. The Bad Batch will return a little older here in 2022 according to the composer for the show and Andor hires someone to handle scoring that isn't Ludwig Goransson. Go fi...
65. This is the Way We React to the Obi-wan Kenobi Teaser Trailer
March 13, 2022 21:31 - 18 minutes - 17.4 MBThe 2022 Annual Disney Shareholders Webcast didn't hold much information for us about Obi-wan Kenobi, but the Entertainment Weekly article and teaser trailer appearing that same Wednesday, March 9th sure did! I'd like to mention that just for the sake of partiality, I do not own stock, even partial stocks, in Disney...though it probably is a silly restriction to put on myself since it stands to be a good investment with prices going up across the board for everything Disney. As with The Boo...
64. This is the Way Podcast February 2022 News Update
February 16, 2022 04:00 - 13 minutes - 12.2 MBShort month, short news podcast coming your way! Steve experimented heavily with ambient sound under this one, so it might not be your cup of tea, but with so few news items of note, it seemed like a good time to test out a few tricks. There is that ONE news story, of course, but we've already discussed Obi-wan Kenobi's debut date for Disney Plus. It's May 25th. Yeah, we've mentioned that a few times already. Boba Fett wrapped up. Ahsoka is gearing up. Acolyte is on deck. Andor is in post-p...
63. The Book of Boba Fett S1E7 Discussion
February 16, 2022 02:00 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MBFiloni giveth Cad Bane and he taketh away. Robert Rodriguez wrapped up the first (and only?) season of The Book of Boba Fett with some great action and some head scratching moments. Even casual fans of Star Wars continue to puzzle over the "mods" and their place in the show. The rancor should have been a show stopper, but Grogu is the money maker, let's not pretend we don't know it.\ Chain mail (obviously) won out over Yoda's lightsaber and Luke sent his potential first student on the firs...
62. The Book of Boba Fett S1E7 Reaction
February 10, 2022 23:40 - 19 minutes - 17.9 MBIt's a strange thing to decide you want to do a podcast to talk about your love for Star Wars and then feel like you have to apologize for your opinions just because some people can't handle opinions other than their own. It certainly feels limiting, but then you realize that those people aren't the ones you want to talk to in your everyday life anyway. It doesn't make great business sense, but calling it like you see it and not worrying about what others think certainly brings joy back into...
61. The Book of Boba Fett S1E6 Discussion
February 08, 2022 01:16 - 39 minutes - 36.6 MBLast week, The Mandalorian makes an appearance. This week, the prospect of revisiting Grogu was on the table. Well, we didn't just get "baby Yoda" in Chapter Six. We got Master Luke, Ahsoka Tano, R2-D2, the debut of ant droids, Cobb Vanth...and we even got Cad Bane. Watching so much Star Wars certainly pays off when you get episodes like this because you're not as lost and don't have to say, "wait, who is this guy and why is she/he important?" You don't HAVE to watch that much Star Wars, bu...
60. The Book of Boba Fett S1E6 Reaction
February 02, 2022 13:54 - 31 minutes - 29.3 MBJoy is a very strange emotion when you think about it. Can you predict when you'll be joyful? If you could, would you be able to attain that joy? This is the Way Podcast was filled with joy watching Chapter 6 of The Book of Boba Fett. To talk about it would really spoil it. Oh, if you listen to this podcast before watching the show, you will have the episode spoiled. This is a REACTION to what was seen in the early morning hours of February 2nd. Like Groundhog Day, we kind of wish we could...
59. The Book of Boba Fett S1E5 Discussion
January 30, 2022 19:14 - 48 minutes - 44.8 MBYou can count This is the Way Podcast among the many that would gladly sing the praises of Bryce Dallas Howard this week after a fantastic installment of The Mandalorian, season 2.5 (though it masqueraded as The Book of Boba Fett season 1, episode 5). It's Mando heavy, like a lightsaber in the hands of a novice. There's callbacks to themes galore, even literally (like when Grogu's theme is heard on the star liner while Din Djarin is looking at the bindle bundle). Easter eggs? If you're looki...
58. The Book of Boba Fett S1E5 Reaction
January 26, 2022 17:25 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBThis is the Way Podcast doesn't release reaction podcasts that much anymore. This one felt like it needed it. There are huge spoilers in this reaction podcast. We talk in general about the big events and some of the small things mentioned, too. Do not listen to this reaction podcast without having watched the episode. This is intended to be a podcast for people hoping to hear someone talk about the things they just saw and build excitement for our in depth podcast, which is already at work....
57. The Book of Boba Fett S1E4 Discussion
January 21, 2022 06:43 - 38 minutes - 36 MBThis is the Way Podcast is pleased to tell you that the salty brine of disillusionment has been cleansed by the bacta of fewer anachronisms this week. Chapter 4 was an improvement in our book (of Boba Fett), but according to Steve, that wasn't a tall order. How many bacta sessions are left? None if you take the dressing droid at its word. The emotional scarring may never heal, but the way Boba freely spreads his trust around makes me think he needs to fly to a planet with great psychologist...
56. This is the Way Podcast January 2022 News Update
January 19, 2022 04:39 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MBWe started off the year with The Book of Boba Fett coverage, but we're sticking with the news updates once a month to make sure we stay in the know for ourselves and for you, our listeners. There isn't much news that doesn't have to do with The Book of Boba Fett, but we may soon get some dates for things like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor. Marvel just put out a trailer for their Moon Knight show coming in March, so if our speculation is correct, we may get a May 4th announcement for Kenobi by th...
55. The Book of Boba Fett S1E3 Discussion
January 14, 2022 23:40 - 59 minutes - 54.8 MBThis is the Way! Now with extra salt! Steve didn't care for this episode, not for one or two cosmetic issues, but for some real problems that even if fixed might only stick out more. The easter egg colored bikes might fit in the world George Lucas built, but they don't fit in on Tatooine. Neither does the poor fighting of a fearsome wookiee said to be a prized fighter. Nor do Hutts make sense slithering away without a threat. I'd bring up how slow the street chase was, but a certain film ha...
