We’ve finally reached episode 90 of Eh! Steve!, and with it the final episode recorded through “traditional” (for us) circumstances. After this, we shall be moving our conversations over to the Twitch channel, though each recording will still be stripped of its audio and uploaded to iTunes and Google Podcasts. It is fitting, however, that our final podcast in this format be of Revenge of the Sith, seeing as our divided opinions regarding the Star Wars franchise have been a frequent point of debate.

I tried to remove as many awkward and lengthy pauses as reasonable in this episode, but in the end I could not perform a perfect edit. Nonetheless, I hope it is a good one to listen to.

I wish I had a proper closing thought for the conclusion of our prequel discussions. In the end, I suppose Steve did prove his point that the prequels weren’t as “bad” as I had remembered. Nonetheless, I still stand by the point that the films are only as fondly remembered or successful as they are due to the brand recognition and legacy. Even if they’re not bad – they are too technically competent to be truly bad – I cannot really believe them to be “good” either. It is doubtful I will ever go out of my way to see them again. Simultaneously, I can confidently confirm that these films at least tried something different and that George Lucas was more creatively inspired than the sequels had ultimately been.

Well, the ones I’ve seen, at least.
