About this listen

David and Hannah celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary re-release of the original Star Wars in theaters, reflecting on the legacy of the 1977 classic and the ongoing debate between the original and special edition versions. They share personal stories of discovering Star Wars on VHS, discuss the significance of seeing the unaltered film on the big screen, and explore how George Lucas's technological innovations shaped the saga. The conversation then shifts to Star Wars Rebels, as they look back on the series' impact—from the introduction of key characters like Maul, Ahsoka, and Thrawn, to the ways Rebels has become essential viewing for understanding the wider Star Wars universe. With thoughtful insights and plenty of nostalgia, this episode is a tribute to the enduring magic of Star Wars and its ever-expanding legacy.
