Star Wars: Prequel Trilogy Discussion – Are They So Bad? A Newbie & A Veteran Review!

This week is another special episode, where Mike has taken 3 episodes from his Patreon to release for you lovely listeners while he’s on holiday/vacation. Each episode Mike & his girlfriend Megan discuss their views on the Prequel Trilogy after Mike rewatches them for the 20th (or 30th?) time and Megan rewatches them for the third time – they don’t agree on everything, so make sure you give it a go, as it may surprise you!

Their Phantom Menace discussion ends around 19:30, which leads onto Attack Of The Clones which ends around 37:00 and it finished with Revenge Of The Sith.

If you enjoyed this, please check out Mike’s Patreon, where he releases 1 or 2 episodes of his “Afterthoughts” a week (including episodes on Solo, Rogue One, the Original Trilogy and Sequel Trilogy episodes will be released in the coming weeks) plus there are unsplit full-length episodes of his other show; Genuine Chit-Chat, additional photos (including early access to photos of comics for this very show) and more, so if you want to support the show and get more content, check it out at http://patreon.com/genuinechitchat

Last week, Mike released his spoiler-free review on the High Republic book A Test Of Courage by Justina Ireland - for the first half of the episode, Mike gives a bit of information on the other releases for The High Republic (the first two waves within Phase 1) and then delves into his spoiler-free review; primarily providing information from the blurb and within the first few pages; talking about the book’s themes and what he enjoyed about it. In the second half, Mike provides more details on the characters within the story and gives examples on how the book’s themes work so well with the story being told, which falls into light-spoiler territory. He gives plenty of warning before delving into his more detailed review, so you can listen to as little or as much info about AToC before picking it up yourself!

In the last standard episode of SWCIC (67), Mike takes you through the first Doctor Aphra adventure from the 2020 comic run where Aphra is back to doing what she loves; finding & selling rare artifacts and almost dying in the process! Join everyone’s favourite rogue archaeologist with a whole new cast of characters and crazy situations that brings mystery, great dialogue and lots of connections to other Star Wars content that Mike will take you through, including info about the Kubaz species, the Tagge family, cursed bone cities and more!
