Ep 7: The Dorks Awaken
from Cultural Futures Exchange · host Cultural Futures Exchange
A few years ago in a movie theater not so far away, the world was blown away (sort of...) by the long-awaited sequel to The Return of the Jedi: The Force Awakens. Does it still hold up? This week your hosts Jeff-I and Slip-walker attempt to find out, and along the way we also ask… Why wasn’t this movie just called The Reboot of the Jedi? Why the resistance is STILL the resistance (how many damn Death Stars do they have to blow up)? Who would choose Kylo Ren to lead anything? How many First Order engineers does it take to screw in a space light bulb? Why everyone this side of Tatooine suffers from short term memory loss? Let us know what you think at [email protected] By the way, if you haven’t seen The Force Awakens don’t sweat it, just think about the original movie (A New Hope), it’s the same basic plot.
