Come back to the cafe and enjoy a nice beverage with Ro and guest Daniel Sparks. We start out by chatting about collectibles and dive right into our main topic, the 'dark-times' for Star Wars fans. A period after the Return of the Jedi and prior to the announcement of George Lucas' announcement that he was working on a new trilogy. If you were a Star Wars fan, what kept you active during these dar...

Let's head back into the OT with a breakdown of scene 114, the Emperor's confrontation with Luke. What really happened there? Did Vader save Luke before his son redeemed him? Ro and Brad discuss how the scene builds starting with Luke's conversation with his father on Endor and how that conversation reveals something about Vader. Listen in and see if you agree. Plus a brand new #SentryMode with Al...

Brad and Ro hang out in the cafe and discuss the question that only we are asking, do we still need Jedi after the sequels? Does the lore of the Jedi need to change or can this ancient mystical group still survive a modern Star Wars? We react to many of our follower responses to this Twitter question. Thank you all for giving us your two cents. PLUS, we play a voicemail from the Scuttlebutt Hotlin...

Yoda proclaimed it. Fear, Anger, Hate, Suffering, all elements that lead to the Dark Side. Anakin embodied all that to become transformed into arguably, the greatest villain to ever exist in movies, the dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader. We know of his dark trajectory, but how do those things play out in our own lives? Can we be turned to the Dark Side as Anakin was? Are we immune to those feelin...

What genre of film has been more inspiring than the genre of science fiction? We would venture to say no other. Science fiction has the ability for us to ask questions, look at problems in a unique way and discover our own limitations and strengths through our own wonder. How does sci-fi affect our way of thinking? We ask these questions and discover how powerful our interaction with science ficti...

We continue our discussion on Star Wars Episode One, The Phantom Menace, this week we sit down and chat with the Used and Abused Pod Crew, Scott, Kim and Nicole.
