So is He Gonna Start His Own Baby Yoda Cartel?

Like the Skywalker siblings, the Tofte brothers get to spend some quality time with their father in this special episode, where we review the film that started it all: "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope." In the spirit of tradition that started from him taking us to Blockbuster to rent this film on VHS, we all got a chance to relive memories. We still have to marvel at the innovative filmmaking and storytelling that changed cinema forever... and that no one seems to get lost navigating the hall...

Nothing About This Theory Holds a Shred of Water!

The brothers begin their journey through the Star Wars cinematic franchise in chronological order, starting with "Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace." Though the film is much maligned, we try to charitably look at it as a product of its time, yet questions still abound. Why is the "menace" so "phantom"? Is Naboo the Luxembourg of Star Wars? Do the Neimoidians actually need Darth Sidious? Who is the REAL Sith lord? How does the rule of two actually work? Why does the queen care so much about honoring...
