38: Droids Part 1

About this episode

The hosts discuss the influence of the Star Wars: Droids animated series and the work of composer Stuart Copeland.

Is it weird to say that Stuart Copeland may be one of the best Star Wars composers of all time? Why is C-3P0 so caked up? How come so many things from the sequel trilogy seem to look to the Star Wars: Droids animated series for inspiration? Do Alex, Davis, and Jesse like this or hate this or both? What is anything anymore these days anyway, right? It's just this brain designed by man that's got me...in trouble again...trouble again!
