S4 E9 MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU

In honor of Star Wars Day, join The Robio for his take on the beloved saga...which, in his not so humble opinion, basically sucks, except for the first one...which is really the fourth one...because the first trilogy was actually the second one of three trilogies, which makes nine episodes...of which, the fourth is absolutely the best..

BONUS! SONG PARODY: 'SIX FEET APART'
