1217 Star Wars (????) - a podcast by tbs eFM

Today’s theme: Star Wars


The world premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi took place in Los Angeles recently, and judging from the early buzz on social media it seems fans of the franchise won't be disappointed. The new film is "amazing," according to The Hollywood Reporter's Ryan Parker. Meanwhile, Erik Davis of the film blog Fandango called it "absolutely fantastic – gripping, touching, funny and powerful". Star Wars is a series of science fiction/fantasy movies created by George Lucas. Although it has dominated the box office over wide swaths of the globe, it hasn’t been popular in Korea compared to other Hollywood blockbuster films. We look into what’s appealing/off-putting about the series.

“For Star Wars beginners, can you tell us what Jedi is, what the Force is, and why they are important in undrestanding the whole franchise?

The first Star Wars film was something new in Hollywood. Please tell us how director George Lucas got to produce the first film.”
