Ah, the dreaded (and much-maligned) Star Wars Prequel Trilogy!
Today we drop into the studio to talk about how people’s perception of The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith has changed over the years. Of course, the theme of the Original Trilogy is the morphing of Luke Skywalker from a child, to a man, to a Jedi. The Prequel Trilogy focuses on the morphing of Anakin Skywalker from a child, to a man, to a Jedi and Sith Lord.
Click play now and join Phil and Chuck as they talk about the nuances between the two trilogies and the indelible effect that Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau are having on the Star Wars universe!
