Hello and welcome to the Nauticast podcast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast that usually goes through a song of ice and fire, but not here.

I'm one of your hosts, Emmett, also known as Poor Quentin, and welcome back one last time to Star Wars.

I have been going back through Star Wars for all of our $5 and above patrons over on

Patreon.com slash not a cast, ASO-I-A-F.

Insanely, I chose to begin with episode one, the Phantom Menace, because that's the first one.

That just seems logical to me.

Numbers mean things after all.

And I've been going back through the main Skywalker saga,

the main six episodes that were directed-ish by George Lucas.

And now I've been going back through the last of them,

Episode six, Return of the Jedi.

Last time I covered pretty much everything up to the

final confrontation, the three-fold final confrontation of the EWalk fight on the ground,

the space fight around the second death star, and of course, Luke v. Vader v. v. the emperor

inside said second death star. And I'm not going to be wrapping up the

Star Wars series alone. I'm joined by my co-host Manu and our friend Luke, who we had with us

to talk about the end of Empire Strikes Back. And now he's here to talk about a slightly less

traumatic end of a movie. I don't know. Maybe less, maybe more. Who's to say the horrors of

getting to know your father better versus the horrors of him cutting off your hand, but you being

able to get away from him? Who's to say, which is in the end, it's a land of contrast, et cetera,

et cetera. I might give up my hand.

I have two.
