Show notes

On today’s episode of Duel of the Ranks, we conclude the original trilogy with our analysis of Return of the Jedi. It’s Charley’s favorite film of the saga, and Brody’s favorite of the original trilogy. With all of the warm and fuzzy feelings at the end, what’s not to love? Though, isn’t it just frosting on the cake of the previous two films? Are Ewoks really ideal warriors? Was Boba Fett overrated? Tune in to our opinions on the metal bikini episode!

3. Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Dec 10, 2021

Show notes

The DotR team strikes back! It’s a big day; we’re ranking what is arguably the best Star Wars film...ever: The Empire Strikes Back. Why do many love this film? If you don’t, have no fear, Brody doesn't seem to like it as much either. Or does he? In today’s episode, we all gang up on Brody and his heretical claims against Irvin Kirshner’s work of art. It’s the first time we see force-levitation, force ghosts, the Emperor, Tantauns, and much more. Love it or hate it, it’s a beautiful bridge between A New Hope and Return of the Jedi.

2. Episode IV: A New Hope Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

On today’s episode of Duel of the Ranks, we discuss the one that started it all: A New Hope. Imagine seeing for the first time the words “A long time ago in a galaxy far far away….” and then a big, loud, gold crawl to catch you up with a never before seen galactic civil war. How do you honestly rank this episode and pay it the respect it deserves? We’ll evaluate this film and all Star Wars media content with these five categories in mind: Story, Characters, Cinematography, Music, and Immersive Universe.

1. I've Got a Good Feeling About This Nov 24, 2021

Show notes

We’re launching our first episode, and boy is it a doozy. The Duel of the Ranks (DotR) gang consists of Brody, Amanda, Charley, and Christian; all with an interesting perspective on the classic space opera we all so dearly love (and sometimes hate).
We have Brody, our fearless squadron leader if you will, who ranks The Force Awakens as the best episode and Solo: A Star Wars Story as the worst. Not an easy position to defend, but he does it courageously. Next up, Amanda who is a rebel spitfire ready to tear down any common notions we hold firmly in this galaxy. She ranks The Last Jedi at the top with Solo also at the bottom (we’ll get to the bottom of this eventually). And then we have Charlie, more of a wise sage reminiscing of a simpler (pre-prequel) age, before the dark times. He ranks Return of the Jedi as the best episode with Revenge of the Sith as the worst. And finally Christian, a keeper of the peace (sometimes) who ranks Empire Strikes Back at the top and The Rise of Skywalker at the bottom.
What do they think of the other films in between? Will their opinions change? Who lays the best cases for their picks? Stay tuned while we hit just the tip of the iceberg in our launch episode!
