The Incomparable, number 332, December 2016.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to The Incomparable, and as it's the week before Christmas,

that can only mean one thing. Yes, it is time for another 8,000 hours of

discussion about the latest Star Wars movie. I'm your host, Anthony Johnston, and we are, of course,

going to be discussing this year's so-called anthology movie, Rogue One, a Star Wars story, which

from now on I'm just going to call Rogue One because life is too short. But not too short

to assemble a rag-tag band of rebels,

the same rebels, in fact, who discussed the Force Awakens with me last year. So, once again,

please welcome from Scotland. We have James Thompson. Hi there. I realize we're a plucky band of rebels

with regional accents, so hopefully we're all going to make it out the other side of this

podcast. Oh yes, yes. English people always survive in Star Wars.

I'm doomed.

Also from Scotland, Liz Miles.

Yeah, I'm much closer to the border.

Does that mean I'm more likely or less likely to die here?

I think more likely.

And finally, our honorary, Scott, Dan Moran.

I'm not going to do an accent, but I feel like I have a good chance of actually

surviving this podcast.

Yeah, you probably do.

And before you all ask, my paternal family are all Scott's Irish, so away with you.

We should mention also right up front that this entire episode is one big, massive honking spoiler.
