Episode 7 Part 1 - Is Star Wars Just Okay?

We made it to seven episodes! That's one less than Star Wars has, if you're only counting the main entries. Speaking of Star Wars, there's a brand new one coming out. That's right, Star Wars Episode 8 The Last Jedi hits theaters tonight! So Josh has been marathoning the Star Wars movies in order to get himself caught up on the story. After dragging himself through the prequels and barely escaping with his dignity, he brings a huge question to the table. He asks us what we think of Star Wars compared to other franchises out today. He compares it to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Alien, Harry Potter, etc, and asks us if when measured against those films is Star Wars just okay? Since this is such a huge question, we decided to bring on a good a friend of ours. That's right, Gerald Glassford from the Pop Culture Cosmos show joins us to discuss all things Star Wars, including where it might go after episode IX. After all director Rian Johnson just announced that he would be directing an entirely new franchise separate from the Skywalker saga. How exciting! All of this and more on this episode of Topicocalypse.
