Mars Needs Podcasts #185- Star Wars Reference Part II: A New Hope?
JJ and his amazing friend Jason may just have to talk about this whole merger thing, or the laws of the internet take the podcast away, or something. So it does not matter if you reacted like Luke after kissing his sister, or if your reaction was closer to Luke meeting his father, we dissect the facts and help you find center in the force. While on the geek train, we also stop by the news surrounding the next X-Men movie with a sigh and a heavy heart.

I half-hated The Rock! The first sequence makes zero sense and is a terrible way to introduce -anything- other than that the movie is incomprehensible, right off the bat, but then after that the entire movie is either “pretty great” (Whenever Nicolas Cage or Sean Connery are in a scene) or utterly, almost inhumanly unwatchable. Whenever they weren’t on screen I felt like turning the movie off. The ending -kind of- makes me still like it, though, just because of how utterly bizarre it is to just throw that into a world. If there’s a cut with everything non-Sean Connery/Nicolas Cage related taken out, then I would watch that again.
Oh, and Star Wars 7 should be directed by Darren Aronofsky, Duncan Jones, or Chan-wook Park, with the action directed by either Ryuhei Kitamura or Tony Jaa, if he has stopped with the whole monk thing by then.
First thing they have to do in Episode 7:
Luke: Son, you have reached the age to learn about the ways of the force, soon your training will begin.
Luke Jr: But Dad, I know how the force works, it’s midichlorians.
Luke: Oh Son, do you believe everything you read? Lesson number 1, the old ones were wrong.
BOOM.
That one was for free, Mickey.
