Behind the Scenes! Phantom Menace Aftermath

NOTE: This is just part 1 of our Phantom Menace discussion because it took us about three hours to get through our conversation. I decided to split Phantom Menace up into two different episodes.

Well, fellow Beggar's Canyon Boys and Girls, we're finally here. It's a true milestone in our journey. The fellas have arrived at the one, the only, The Phantom Menace. Ryan was shocked, awed, and overwhelmed, as Jackson and Andy rant about their irrational love for the movie. Just kidding, Ryan had great points. But dang Jackson was sounding pretty smart too.

The Boys cover the finale of Kevin J. Anderson's much loved Tales of the Jedi series of mini-series. At least it's much loved by Ryan and Jackson. Will Ulic finally get the hero turn he deserves? It's really sad watching people fall to the dark side, huh? Also will Leia ever be characterized correctly outside of the OT and the Thrawn books?
