133: Return of the Jedi (4k83) Pt. 2
<p>We come at last to the grand finale of the original Star Wars trilogy, and it, too, is haunted by the past. Once again, in space, a one time scoundrel must trust his gut and swoop down to the pits of a cataclysmic, moon-sized weapon to save the day. Once again, aboard that station, a Jedi must come to the realization that striking down his opponent is not the path to real power. And once again, on a small world below, a rag-tag group Rebels from across the galaxy can do nothing but watch and hope as... wait, sorry, I'm taking another look. What are those little furry guys. They didn't have those at Yavin, I'll tell you that much. Seems like a group of difference makers if I've ever met one.</p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/civilized">Support the show by going to Patreon.com/civilized!</a></p> <p><strong>NEXT TIME: Marvel Comic's Darth Vader (2015) Issues 1-6</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Show Notes</strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/314294/amca_133_1.png" alt= "" width="728" height="556" /></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/314294/amca_133_2.png" alt= "" width="2000" height="2000" /></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/314294/amca_133_3.png" alt= "" width="1560" height="878" /></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/314294/amca_133_4.png" alt= "" width="1000" height="1341" /></strong></span></p> <div class="contents_c19a55"> <div id="message-content-1498878786668855496" class= "markup__75297 messageContent_c19a55"><a href= "https://youtu.be/J1HQFyrubkY">The Vader Yule Log</a></div> <div class="markup__75297 messageContent_c19a55"> </div> <div class="markup__75297 messageContent_c19a55"><a href= "https://youtu.be/IISUpmzfDD0">'Weesa Free' Moment</a></div> <div class="markup__75297 messageContent_c19a55"> </div> <div class="markup__75297 messageContent_c19a55"> <p>Hosted by Rob Zacny (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/robzacny.bsky.social">robzacny.bsky.social</a>)</p> <p>Featuring Alicia Acampora (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/ali-online.bsky.social">ali-online.bsky.social</a>), Austin Walker (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/austinwalker.bsky.social">austinwalker.bsky.social</a>), and Natalie Watson (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/nataliewatson.bsky.social">nataliewatson.bsky.social</a>)</p> <p>Produced by Michael Hermes</p> <p>Music by Jack de Quidt (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/notquitereal.bsky.social">notquitereal.bsky.social</a></p> <p>Cover art by Xeecee (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/xeecee.bsky.social">xeecee.bsky.social</a>)</p> </div> </div> <div id="message-accessories-1498878786668855496" class= "container_b7e1cb"> <article class= "embedFull__623de embed__623de markup__75297 justifyAuto__623de" aria-hidden="false"> <div class="gridContainer__623de"> <div class="grid__623de"> <div class="embedSuppressButton__623de" tabindex="0" role="button" aria-label="Remove all embeds"> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div>

132: Return of the Jedi (4k83) Pt. 1
<p>Return of the Jedi is a haunted movie. It is haunted most obviously by the ghosts of the past films: droids walking across desert wastes, fateful holograms delivered in desperation, deflector shield substations, robotic hands, and a Death Star hanging above the world. But it is also haunted by the future of the franchise: further reliance on ambitious CGI, a subtle sanding down in humor and character, dozens of little creatures whose names are never said but whose identity marketing has taught you before you ever see the text start rolling across the screen.</p> <p>Star Wars, as we know it, has arrived.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Show Notes</strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/314294/amca_132_1.png" alt= "" width="2360" height="2360" /></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/314294/amca_132_2.png" alt= "" width="910" height="546" /></strong></span></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/GduZhqftUn8">Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas - Outtakes</a></p> <p>Hosted by Rob Zacny (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/robzacny.bsky.social">robzacny.bsky.social</a>)</p> <p>Featuring Alicia Acampora (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/ali-online.bsky.social">ali-online.bsky.social</a>), Austin Walker (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/austinwalker.bsky.social">austinwalker.bsky.social</a>), and Natalie Watson (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/nataliewatson.bsky.social">nataliewatson.bsky.social</a>)</p> <p>Produced by Michael Hermes</p> <p>Music by Jack de Quidt (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/notquitereal.bsky.social">notquitereal.bsky.social</a></p> <p>Cover art by Xeecee (<a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/xeecee.bsky.social">xeecee.bsky.social</a>)</p>
