THE LAST JEDI has come under fire for nonsensical plot elements and characters making LOST-esque idiotic decisions, but if we jump in the WayBack Machine™ and take a look at RETURN OF THE JEDI, we find that nonsensical might be endemic to all STAR WARS movies — read also, if there was a “plan” to rescue Han, what the hell was it, and how did it go so wrong?
This episode was inspired by Mike Ryan’s article at Uproxx on the same topic.

The new EARTHCORE is straight fire. You will love it. If you buy it (only $9.99 in print), you will feel guilty that you didn’t give me more money.

If you like the football scenes in STARSHIP TROOPERS, you will love GALACTIC FOOTBALL LEAGUE the series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Scott Sigler. Humor, tragedy, galactic politics, criminal intrigue and hard-hitting alien American Football action all come together in a series described as STAR WARS meets THE GODFATHER meets THE BLINDSIDE. Book one, THE ROOKIE, is the perfect book-report project for your high school or junior high athlete.
We recorded our coverage of this cult classic live at SiglerFest2k17 in Las Vegas. Junkies (the fans of Scott Sigler’s books) got to ask us questions. Also, there were many White Russians, so don’t count on Scott or ARealGirl to be all that sharp in their responses. Drunken StorySmack is the 300 game of podcasting!
