Is The Empire Strikes back still the best Star Wars of the trilogy?

50 min • 10 mars 2025

Luke, I am your father. Only... feeling the full 'Force' of the Mandela effeect - that wasn't even the line. AND EVEN BETTER- originally it was going to be: OBI WAN KILLED YOUR FATHER. More easter eggs and wonderful Star Wars chat to come on this weeks ep.


Welcome back to the pod - we're going full nostalgia mode after the Oscar's, back front and centre again is Star Wars this time episode V. No nonsense, let's say it, it's the GOAT Star Wars film. It just is. No messing around. And that's for so many different reasons which we will get into.
