A Trek of the Clones Part 16 : Return of the Jedi (Star Wars)

December 08, 2020

A Trek of the Clones is a podcast series where we compare and contrast Star Trek to Star Wars.
Last week we did Trouble With Tribbles!  This week we do Issues With Ewoks.  (Sorry, it's the best Google synonym could do for me.)  Which cuddly creatures did better at embedding themselves into our subconscious?
And just how is it this movie went from our most favorite, to our most hated, to whatever it is now?  
Next week (-ish) we'll be starting our coverage of the Disney trilogy, and to prepare for us to talk about The Force Awakens, we decided to tackle the question of whether or not Rey is a Mary Sue by pulling Star Trek's proto example, Wesley Crusher!  And yes I resent the gendered nature of this discussion but it is a part of the discourse so we're taking a careful step into the discussion without trying to be toxic.  
So we will be covering The Next Generation's season 1 classic, "Where No One Has Gone Before"!
