Binge Movie Aftertaste – Star Wars Retrospective w/ David Mayne Pt 1

One thing I have noticed around Binge Media is the lack of Star Wars coverage. So what did I do? After being away from each other’s microphonic paths (eww) for more than a year, the head of my former internet home Adventure Amigos himself, Dave Mayne, has brought his Star Wars (and beer oriented) knowledge and fandom with him for this series of three Binge Movie Aftertastes. Just like Luke Norris and I did with Rocky, Dave is joining myself and the lovely Jason Morris on an epic journey through the Star Wars franchise. all ending with an epic review of The Force Awakens, coming your way December 19th from Walt Disney Pictures.

For this first show, we will look at Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. Setting the stage for the next thirty five plus years, the first two films of the franchise are generally looked at as the best of the series. But do we think so?

Some things we cover:

• Why does Obi Wan Kenobi sacrifice himself while in battle with Darth Vader on the Death Star?
• What was Han doing before joining the rebels?
• Why is Yoda so high when we first meet him in Empire?
• Why is Luke so damn whiny?
• Colt .45, anyone?
• Why does Jason’s son know more about this franchise than all three of us?
• Why doesn’t Chewbacca get a fucking medal at the end of Star Wars?!
• What in one of our opinions is the best performance of the entire series?
• Who does Jason consider to be the stupidest characters in the whole saga (hint: it’s NOT the stormtroopers).
• Why did Jason watch the saga out of order?

So strap yourselves in and get ready for another ride down Star Wars lane. Don’t forget to check out all of Dave’s douchebaggery on the Adventure Amigos and myriad of podcasts on Dark Barn Radio.
