“As a fan of Star Wars, I am sometimes forgetful that it has not existed for all times to all people. It was great to hear Lauren Lapkus and Nicole Byer respond to the movie (soon to be more movies) with new eyes and minds that aren’t saddled with nostalgia and four decades of expectations. Like the hosts of the Bechdelcasts, they bring perspectives that I don’t have, and because they are funny people, I get to enjoy all their comments, positive and negative.
I also want to commend their first guest, John Gemberling, who might have been the best possible kind of Star Wars fan to have around and talk our hosts down the ledge when everything seems bonkers, and none of the meme-worthy lines and characters show up yet.
I can’t wait for more episodes.
May the Force be with you.”
