The Phantom Menace & Obi-Wan Series Thoughts - Episode 02

And so the re-watch began... It's Episode I: The Phantom Menance time and that means the official re-watch of Star Wars films has begun in the lead up to The Rise of Skywalker. Dylan, Ash and Ciaran discuss some thoughts about the film since last time they watched it, and also debate the idea of Rey being created by Palpatine, much like Anakin was.

This week the discussion also turns to the announcement of the Obi-Wan series for Disney+ and what we think that should centre on.
