Join us in this episode of Two Dads One Controller as we explore the most diverse corner of the Star Wars universe - the sequel trilogy. Covering episodes 7, 8, and 9, we unravel the complexities of bringing back old legends, introducing new ones, and the twists and turns that left fans both intrigued and perplexed.
Dive deep into each episode as we discuss whether J.J. Abrams managed to recapture the Star Wars magic with The Force Awakens, or if it was simply a nostalgic rendition of A New Hope. We examine controversial character arcs, like Luke Skywalker's journey in The Last Jedi, and debate whether bold choices or betrayals of beloved characters defined these films.
The Rise of Skywalker, with its epic lightsaber duels and mind-bending force powers, closes the trilogy. Was Palpatine's return an epic twist, or a hasty retcon? We discuss what could have been improved with a snap of the fingers.
From the captivating visuals of the salt planet to the perplexing subplots that had fans scratching their heads, this episode is a must for anyone who loves or loves to hate these new chapters in the Star Wars saga. Tune in and share your thoughts and hot takes on this contentious trilogy!
