Following our talk on the original trilogy, we are back to discuss Lucas' follow up prequel trilogy about Luke's father Anakin, released between 1999 to 2005 made up of The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones & Revenge of the Sith. While not as universally beloved as the OG films, these movies have found their own love with a new generation.

Anakin Skywalker is only nine when Jedi Master Qui-Gon-Jinn frees him from slavery and takes him to the Jedi to be trained. From boyhood to adulthood, Anakin is molded into a powerful Jedi Knight by Obi-Wan-Kenobi. But a secret marriage to Padme Amidala, The Clone Wars and an increasingly ineffective and resentful Jedi Counsel will soon push Anakin towards the Dark Side bringing the fate of the galaxy into question.

Join Lucas and Cordell as we discuss the legacy of the prequels, Jar Jar as well as the Clone Wars, Rebels and the merchandising of Star Wars that we indulged in as kids.
