The Wookiee Rookiee Podcast: Recent Episodes
kmaimer
Did you know that there exist people who have never seen the original Star Wars trilogy? It's true! Katharina is one such soul who would like to be able to enjoy the forthcoming "The Force Awakens" without skipping over a whole generation of the story. Chris and Mick, caring types that they are, decided that if she's going to watch the original series after all these years of steadfast refusal, then she should probably go back and watch the whole six movies in chronological order. In this podcast we discuss how that experience went, one episode at a time.
Episode 7.5 â?? Rookiee None In which we skip back to a time when there was no new hope: when droids were sarcastic, when rescue plans were drastic, when canon was elastic and when Grand Moffs were plastic. On the way to claim the Death Star plans, we consider the strong female character, the Hoff, and a smaller, gentler Darth Vader.

In which Darth Vader is likened to both a three-legged dog and a dark Polly Pocket, while Katharina explains her history of punching boys for chocolate. Oh, yes, and we finally reach the original trilogy which is actually not about blowing up the planet of the chickens with a ruler.

In which we come to the end of the prequel trilogy and look forward to a more balanced force. Learn some methods of preparation for watching old sci-fi, ending wars with The Weakest Link, Czech scams and all about the neighbour's dog Lumpi.

In which we realise that the Jedi robe is the trench coat of a galaxy far, far away, Christopher Lee has actually played a non-villainous role and "You've got a good wonky face" would make a great Anakin pick-up line. Join us as we consider the horrifying concept of Obi Wan Kenobi played by Noel Edmunds.

Episode 1 - The Fantom Menace In which we discuss Jar Jar vs C3PO, painful stereotyped accents, questionable love interests and rubbish droids. That's droids who are rubbish, rather than droids who specialise in dealing with rubbish, which are something else entirely.
