Episode Synopsis

The number 2 in the title is kinda scary, given that I'm so used to Roman numerals with Star Wars titles. Compared to season 1, I haven't cared much about the episode numbering, but it dawned on me while editing that the season and episode numbers are fitting, given that the topic is Star Wars Holiday Special 2, and it came out exactly 43 years after the first one. I'm joined by Jesse Bennett from the podcast Question/Possible Answer to talk about how this Disney+ special handles in-universe and out-of-universe stuff, the funny references it makes, the musical numbers, and more!
Show Notes:
-Tom Ellis, who starred as the titular character in Lucifer, was born the same day that the original Star Wars Holiday Special aired. Could there be a correlation?
