GUEST HOST: VALKYIRE!!
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
So much of science fiction represents society that has grown past our petty distinctions into a better world. The question is how successful are the stories themselves in getting past some of the same obstacles? We take a step back from some of our favorite things to see if they hit the mark from a particular perspective. It shouldn't be hard to meet the expectations, but do all 3 movies do that? Part one gets the ball rolling...
Notes:
Strange that we'd somehow bypass the Mads of Mikkelsen. Fear not, here's an entire episode about him.
Here is the Death Star Canteen bit with some lego animation.
