EP27 The Watcher in the Woods

EP30 Star Wars

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… The Mog takes flight to revisit one of Peter’s all-time favourites, the ground-breaking epic that started it all— Star Wars (1977). Join us as we explore the birth of the modern blockbuster, unravel the mythology of the Force, and discuss how George Lucas' vision changed cinema forever. From lightsaber battles to Death Star trench runs, we’re diving deep into what made this film a cultural phenomenon. You don’t need to be a Jedi to enjoy this episode—but listening might just awaken the Force within you! May the Mog be with you!
