EP. 85 — Star Wars

Amy & Paul make the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs to 1977’s George Lucas space fantasy Star Wars! They learn why Carrie Fisher hated those buns, praise the visionary designs of Ralph McQuarrie, and ask if we can still appreciate it as a single film in a post Star Wars world. Plus: Paul Hirsch, the editor of Star Wars, talks about bringing Lucas’ vision to the final cut.
