Summary

Our two weeks of Revenge of the Sith episodes continues with a look at the very long history of the “lava planet” final battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin that eventually became the Mustafar duel. Lucas was dreaming up this moment all the way back in 1977 and we’re going over every time it almost made it into a Star Wars movie. AND - we’re studying the 2015 ROTS DVD documentary, WITHIN A MINUTE. Join us as we discuss its many highlights and it shows just how the Mustafar battle was made! From loud fans to Rick McCallum talking about food, it has it all! So, listen today and celebrate the love!
