Star Wars Franchise - From Vader’s Reveal to Leia Flying Through Space

Ryan welcomes Karl — the host and creative force behind the legendary “Who Are These Podcasts?” — for a no-holds-barred, laugh-filled deep dive into the entire Star Wars saga. Two 40-something guys who grew up on the original trilogy argue over box-office numbers, Ewoks vs. Wookies, the prequel disasters, Jar Jar racism, Hayden Christensen’s rat-tail, the Leia-in-space Superman moment, and why The Phantom Menace almost killed the franchise forever. They crown the single worst film in the nine-movie Skywalker saga, debate whether The Last Jedi is misunderstood genius or franchise-murder, and reveal which original-trilogy classic is secretly the least rewatchable. Expect roasting, childhood nostalgia, hot takes, and zero midichlorian sympathy. If you love Star Wars… or love hating the bad ones… this episode is for you.
