For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights with the guardians of peace and justice in the old Republic.

Before the dark times, before the empire.

The Empire. Welcome Masters and Badawan's to episode 407 of Full of Sid with me.

I'm Brian Young, a host of the show, and with me as ever is the indubitably redoubtable Holly Fry.

Also a host of the show.

Also a host of the show.

How's it going, Holly?

You know, it's going. How about you?

It's good. It's good. I was thinking after last week's episode about The Last

Jedi, I almost wanted to do a part two. I had so much fun talking about that movie.

But there's other fun stuff to talk about in the world yeah no it's just fun it was just fun

maybe we'll come back to it we'll come back to it at some point um but today we've got something

interesting planned hopefully it's interesting but i've I don't know, digging up a whole

bunch of stuff about Alec Guinness and thought that we could play a whole bunch of interview clips

of his. That would be fun. But first, I don't know, just I figured we'd talk about Alec Guinness generally beforehand.

My interest in Alec Guinness obviously started with Star Wars, but I was really excited

when I realized that he was in other movies other than Star Wars, and I've seen so many great

or weird because of him.

It was, it sounds like it's the same for you too holly yeah i mean i can tell you a certainty i would not have sought out like the nineteen forty six great expectations

um had it not involved him right which was a movie I ended up really being fascinated by.

And I remember the first time I saw Bridge on the River Kwai and being like,

I think I was probably, I don't know, 18 or 19 at the time and being like, oh, old movies
