Happy Star Wars Day! May the Fourth Be With You! This week we're heading to Cloud City in search of an old friend. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, Georgia - and Ethan from Talking The Mickey - as we're trying to fix the hyperdrive and avoid getting eaten. It's a Mandela Effect of a 66th episode as we discuss:
- How the sequel came abou
- The Mandela effect of the most famous line in the film.
- We moan a bit about the CGI that's been inserted into the film
- Which famous line from the film was ad-libbed
- Whether or not this is the best film in the Star Wars Franchise
- Which face of the franchise was different due to an automotive accident
- Who was most angry at not being clued in to the twist ending
- We have a challenging discussion about fandom, nostalgia and a sense of ownership over media products
- Whether or not The Empire Strikes Back is the Best Film Ever
