We’re back at it with the sequels this time: let’s get positive about them and talk about how they enhance the original trilogy.
On the 93rd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts — Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) — revisit their topic from a couple of weeks ago … how the other movies in the saga actually enhance the original Star Wars trilogy, this time looking at the sequels (Episodes VII-IX). There’s a certain reverence the filmmakers paid the OT during the sequels, and that permeates those movies … and in certain cases it elevates some of the original material. Beyond that, the character of Palpatine is now even bigger (and badder) a figure than he was before and we now have more of a complete (and honest) picture of our original heroes. If you’re down on the sequels maybe this conversation will give you a more positive perspective on things!
