Episode 41 of the "Knights of Vader – A Star Wars Podcast!"
Tonight Zack, Mark, Zenger and “Force Ghost Jim” discuss the backlash to The Last Jedi. Why are the same exact complaints leveled against the prequels, being used against The Last Jedi? Will anything ever truly satiate this borderline toxic fanbase? Why are most fans over 40 incapable of liking any Star Wars film besides Ep. IV & V? What will Kathleen Kennedy's quick fix be to put out this dumpster fire of fan criticism? All will be discussed, not answered, in this episode. Join us!

Episode 40 of the "Knights of Vader – A Star Wars Podcast!"
Tonight Zack, Mark and Zenger are joined by Louis (Sleepy Skunk), the master editor behind the yearly YouTube movie trailer mashups, to discuss The Last Jedi. Come listen to them endlessly scrutinize this poor film, which seems to lose fan support on a daily basis. Later, they start to play a quasi-trivial pursuit version of Star Wars, which goes nowhere quickly. They then start to dogpile on the Han Solo film, which still has not released a trailer at the time of recording this. $5 says that trailer drops the day before this episodes debuts!

Happy Festivus… again!
Zack, Mark and Zenger delve into the 90’s TV show obscure reference well once again to air their Star Wars grievances & finally declare which one of them will win the "Feats of Strength."

~~Special episode~~
Stay tuned for our imminent The Last Jedi review!
Tonight, Zack (in preparation for The Last Jedi) reviews The Legends of Luke Skywalker, by Ken Liu, and shares his thoughts on the only piece of media, in over 5 years, that attempts to explain what Luke Skywalker has been up to for the 30 years between Return of the Jedi & The Force Awakens. SPOILER ALERT! Mostly Force stuff, lots & lots of Force stuff. Plus, a Star Wars recreation of Pixar’s Ratatouille, except instead of a rat, a chef & a kitchen. It’s a flea, Luke Skywalker & a Rancor pit! You'll never look at Salacious Crumb the same way again.

Happy Festivus!
In the spirit of Festivus, Zack, Mark and Zenger air their grievances about all things Star Wars… from the mediocre score of The Force Awakens, to the hollow mystery of Attack of the Clones & all the way to the limitless boundaries of Force powers. Break out the aluminum pole, put away your tinsel & join us as Zack lobs countless Force Awakens plot holes at Mark & Zenger, only for Zenger to effortless dodge & occasionally walk right into them. Remember, Festivus is not over until someone is pinned down during the "Feats of Strength!"

Tonight Zack, Mark and Zenger discuss the unusually timed announcement that Rian Johnson is planning a whole new Star Wars trilogy. Why announce now that a filmmaker will make 3 more films in a series, despite their sole endeavor still more than a month out from release? Imagine if you don’t like The Last Jedi… Is there any point in liking Star Wars for the next decade? Why is it that Lucasfilm, in an industry filled with talented filmmakers, can only get along with 2 specific directors and Richie Cunningham? Join us and find out!
