This is a special episode in anticipation of May the Fourth. Rae and Christy talk about their favorite "May the Force Be with You" moments in Star Wars, discussing what it means for the characters and story each time it's spoken.
Christy and Rae kick off a new series on Star Wars themes by taking a look at revenge through the characters of Darth Maul, Palpatine, Boba Fett, Kylo Ren, and Asajj Ventress.
SPOILERS in this episode for Star Wars Rebels, The Clone Wars, and Dark Disciple by Christie Golden, a book Rae definitely recommends.
We also give a shoutout to one of Christy's favorite Star Wars podcasts, What the Force, and Amanda (@jedigeekgirl) of I Rebel podcast.
Also, Christy misquotes Asajj Ventress's words in Dark Disciple and we want you to know the actual stellar quote:
“Remember…you always have a choice to be better. You always have a choice to…to pick the right path.” She smiled sadly. “Even if that choice comes a little late.”
