By the way, inspired by the recent release of Star Wars Desperados, this week’s podcast is all about what makes Star Wars… Star Wars. We’re exploring this in an unorthodox way, by picking up things that aren’t Star Wars and pointing out their similarities to Star Wars. Confused? Come on, it’s just an excuse to argue.
Star Wars is a massive media franchise that has had so many ideas poured into it over the years by different writers, directors, showrunners, and other types of creatives that it’s hard to really pin down its true nature What is it. That’s why the question arises: “Besides the Star Wars games, what are the best Star Wars games?” What an interesting topic: you can make an argument for anything. Yes, even Football Manager.
So what does our panel associate most with Star Wars: Laser swords and space wizards, or a beleaguered resistance movement against a tyrannical empire? The things that had a huge impact on a young George Lucas, like the Flash Gordon adventure series, the films of Akira Kurosawa and the experience of the Vietnam War?
Special guest Ian Dransfield from Some Old Games Magazines joins host Jim and regular panelists Connor and Mark. Tom is not available this week as he is on holiday.
