Summary

This edition of #skytalkersmachete is all about 1977's Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. We spend some time responding to a listener email, then move into part 1, which is all about the film's story. Part 2 really gets into the characters. We ask questions like: are these characters well developed? Why do we respond so much to these core characters? In part 3, we evaluate where this fits in in our updated Machete Order, which puts The Phantom Menace in the front. All this Star Wars discussion and more on this episode of Skytalkers: This Galactic Life!   Follow us @skytalkerspod and individually @crerrity and @caitlinplesher on Twitter for constant Star Wars discussion!

Hey guys. I'm your other host, Caitlin, and welcome to this very exciting episode where we finally get to talk about a new hope. Woo! I have to be honest, I have a little bit of anxiety about talking about this episode,

1:10.5

because it's like one of the greatest films ever made.

Well, we should probably just put a disclaimer before the episode as in we're not going to be able to cover everything about a new hope in this one hour episode.
