Jack and Derrick are joined by their friend Ryan for the second half of our discussion on the next entry in the main saga... SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY! Directed (kinda) by Ron Howard, this film is one of the LEAST successful entries in the Star Wars cinematic saga and has been cited as the reason for the decreased output of theatrical Star Wars properties in recent years. We get the entirely unnecessary origin story of the galaxy's favorite rogue Han Solo in a swashbuckling, train-hopping, drink-swilling prequel to the original trilogy. Ever wonder where Han got his last name? Or how he acquired the Millennium Falcon? Or why Chewie is called Chewie instead of Chewbacca? Neither did we! The second half of this episode will be released on July 24, but if you want the entire episodes of Han Took Shots First, uncut and without ads, you can join the ⁠Bad Movies Worse People⁠ Patreon at ⁠patreon.com/worsepeople⁠ for only $3 a month!

New Star Wars means bonus content for you! We interrupt our regularly scheduled podcast to bring you coverage of the brand new Disney+ show, THE ACOLYTE! This is it, the END the The Acolyte season 1 and we get to see if everything pays off our if we're just left hanging!

Jack and Derrick are joined by Whitney, our special guest and co-host of Bad Movies Worse People, to dive into the world's FIRST look into the High Republic era outside of EU literature! For Episode 8 we are also joined by our friend Hector.

Derrick and Jack close out their discussion of the prequel trilogy with arguably the best entry in the franchise. In this film, we leave much of the political chatter and pointless drivel behind to dive into the ACTION! Anakin still spends much time crying with Padme about babies or something. Still, Obi-Wan kicks some major ass, Dooku is unceremoniously murdered and a four-armed lightsaber-wielding robot takes his place. Anakin finally succumbs to the Dark Side because he's a sad boy or something. Also, a bunch of little Jedi shitbirds get wiped the hell out in one of the Star Wars franchise's darkest turns. Join us as we celebrate finally finishing the prequel trilogy!

Sorry this one is a day late, but we got it out as fast as we could considering the circumstances.

We're half way through THE ACOLYTE and the mystery continues to build, but the action hasn't been there to pay it off. Our Jedi heroes (?) travel to the planet of Khofar to save the Wookie Jedi Kelnacca from Mae's wrath but will they be too late? PLUS we finally get a good look at Mae's mysterious Master. Is he a Sith? Is he Qimir? Is he a he? All this and MORE!

This episode should be covering both episodes 3 and 4 of THE ACOLYTE, but we had a delay due to personal reasons and episode 4 will be later. Hopefully only one day. Thank you for understanding.

This time we dive into the third episode of THE ACOLYTE titled DESTINY. A Rashomon-esque flashback to the childhood of Mae and Osha told from one point of view, we start to see what happened 16 years ago on Brandock to lead us to where we are today.

Part 2 of our discussion on Episode II of the prequel trilogy, we dive into this cringy snoozefest, while still trying to find redeeming qualities in what both Jack and Derrick consider one of the weakest entries in the Saga. The second Star Wars prequel film, directed by George Lucas and starring Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christiansen, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson and a bunch of computer alien folks. Set ten years after the events of "The Phantom Menace," the Republic continues to be mired in strife and chaos. A separatist movement encompassing hundreds of planets and powerful corporate alliances poses new threats to the galaxy that even the Jedi cannot stem. These moves, long planned by an as yet unrevealed and powerful force, lead to the beginning of the Clone Wars -- and the beginning of the end of the Republic.
