A long time ago, in a pod booth, far, far away. I love this bit. No, we can't afford to

use it.

Hello pod, I'm Chris Hewitt and welcome to another very special episode of the Empire Podcast

brought to you an association with our very lovely and talented jumps at Sky Cinema, the

only place that brings you a brand new premiere every day. Not every other day. Oh no, not

the odd day in seven. Not when they can be arsed. No, it's every single day. Incredible

stuff. And once again, we've confirmed a very special and talented pod crew for a short

series of podcast debates or pod debates, if you will. And today's topic will have them

arguing in cantinas from Colfordry to Carousant, from all the shot to Alderan. It is simply

the greatest Star Wars characters. Oh, the idea is simple. Thank you for that guys.

You know, get paid extra for that. The idea is simple. I'm joined by three super colleagues

of such lethal cunning. And over the next hour or so, we will all be putting the case

forward for some of our favorite characters from the Star Wars saga and then using the

complicated process and involving complex mathematics, levers and pulleys. I will be

deciding that you back is at number one. And if after all this, you wish to go back and

watch yourself some Star Wars, you are in luck for Sky Cinema. Star Wars collection is

available right now, right onto the best looking scruffy nerf herders that I know. First

up is a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time. Like Chewbacca, he is pursuit.

Like Chewbacca, he is weirdly wearing only a bandalier in a strategic position. But unlike

Chewbacca, thankfully he won't rip your arms off if you beat him at space, chess, please

look at Sky Cinema's own Alex Sain. I've got a laser crossbow though. So you just watch

yourself. Oh, I tell you what, have you seen the nerf boaster? It's amazing. What?
