Listen in as our trio answers all the crucial questions. Has time or millennial/Gen Z nostalgia been kind to The Phantom Menace? Does Jar Jar Binks deserve his infamy more than certain other aliens? How effectively does a hoodie hide one's true identity? Well, grab your double lightsabers and roll your chance cubes as you listen to find out!
