*SPOILER WARNING FOR THE EXTENDED STAR WARS CANON*
Remember when Darth Maul showed up in the Solo film? but didn’t he get cut in half and die in The Phantom Menace? Yeh, it’s confusing, so we decided to discuss it…
Volunteers and Star Wars fans, Anna, Neal and Sam discuss the idea of shared stories, connectivity and canon across both films and other media such as tv, comics, books and games and how the characters and and arcs from this supporting material affects the average movie-goer’s understanding and enjoyment of the wider plot.
