Summary

Noooooooo!!! Actually ,yes., We're re-examining the Star Wars prequels with their racist portrayals, wooden dialogue, and still kinda badass lightsaber fights. If you hate these movies Holden is your guy. If you think they're both ambitious and prescient, then Jake is your guy. If you're caught in the middle and just want your friends to hug it out and stop fighting about Jar Jar then you'll agree with Mike. It's a fun time racing through this pod about pod racing. Some would certainly say more fun than the movies themselves. Want even more Nerd of Mouth? Support us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/nerdofmouth

0:54.9	There's too bad a Yuff game. And he's so uncomfortable. Maybe you could solve it with the song. And it was so funny because like, you know, we're talking to the prequels today. Yeah. And I was like, you can't judge a child's performance. You know, like we're talking like Jake Lloyd.'s like, it just feels really mean because, you know, especially since people have
1:14.5	been doing it for a long time.
1:16.4	And then that kid in the third one, I'm like, that kid sucks.
1:22.0	We, I guess we'll figure out a true title when you see this on your feed.
1:26.4	But the idea is we are reevaluating, reexamining, visiting back on the legacy of the Star Wars
1:34.4	Prequel Trilogy.
1:36.2	What I wanted, the reason why I wanted to talk about this is because more and more, as Gen Z is
1:40.9	coming into its own, coming into adulthood, I see prequel defenders more and more.
1:46.0	And honestly...
