Description
In this fascinating episode of Resonant Reels, the boys chat about Star Wars with some acknowledgment of the homework material of 2003's Star Wars Clone Wars animated micro-series. It's mainly Adam confused from being an arguably passive fan but with an openness to immerse himself and learn more, and the ramblings of madman Chandler who's been a fanboy for a couple of decades.
From chatting about Genndy Tartakovsky's beautiful animation depicting a new side of Star Wars, we reflect further on the cultural impact of Star Wars in how such an immense universe is so accessible to wide audiences and the everlasting love the franchise still holds.
We also discuss the tense relationship the franchise has presently with the equally diverse and enormous fanbase between the successes and flops from the property post-Disney acquisition.
All in all, it's a fascinating episode learning the depths of knowledge Chandler has on his favorite fandom and sharing a general appreciation they both have for Star Wars and why it's impacted them so intensely.
