Ep. 508: Return of the Jedi (1983)

As Part Threes: Part Tres comes to a close, happenstance has taken us to a galaxy far, far away as we look at Return of the Jedi on its 40th anniversary. Do the Ewoks hold this back? Is the Skywalker family drama too much for us? We talk trilogies and franchises, Freud, storytelling, post-modernism, and much, much more.  TIMESTAMPS 00:30 - Introductions and Synopsis 05:08 - Quick Return of the Jedi Reviews 22:10 - Expanding the Syllabus 35:38 - Analysis 1:07:53 - Shelf or Trash 1:08:56 - Wrap Up and Next Week's Film
