Bantha Banter – A Star Wars Chat Show

We're baaaaaack! After a longer-than-planned hiatus, Bantha Banter is back in a slightly new flavor! Starting today, each show will feature your trusty host Jeff joined by his even trustier co-host Dr. John Norine for discussions of all shapes and sizes relating to the Galaxy Far, Far Away. First up: They discuss the Twin Suns sequence of A New Hope and try to figure out why Jeff has never been as moved by it as everyone else, and the discussion continues with an in-depth discussion on the music for this scene, and how it has been used in other scenes throughout the saga. Finally, Jeff asks a series of inane questions about bounty hunters, and John gamely plays along.

It's good to be back, and we hope you enjoy the new format!
