star wars the force awakens

Crooked Table Podcast: REPOST — Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens (featuring Kai Yaniz)

In the seventh installment of our retrospective on the Star Wars saga, we revisit our two-part conversation from 2015 on Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens. The first hour was recorded before Rob and guest Kai Yaniz saw the film, serving as a summary of what came before. Then, part two delves deep into J.J. Abrams’ film, its comparisons to A New Hope, and what we hoped to see from the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

Every month for the rest of 2019, we’ve been discussing another episode of the Star Wars saga, building up to the release of Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker in December. Check out our conversation with Kerri Jones about Star Wars: Episode VIII — The Last Jedi, now available to download. Then return for the final installment next month, as we finally discuss The Rise of Skywalker itself.

SYNOPSIS

Thirty years after the defeat of the Galactic Empire, Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and his young allies, Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Finn (John Boyega), face a new threat from the evil Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and the First Order.
