Star Wars (Episode IV: A New Hope)::
Rent: Netflix Disc
Buy: DVD • BluRay
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…or in this case, about 35 years ago, in Hollywood, a legendary science fiction film was released that would change cinema forever. Now, it is our job to talk about how to take that film, remake it today, and not make fools of ourselves. The film, of course, is Star Wars (A New Hope), easily one of our collective favorite movies, and easily the movie we all have talked about the most in our time together as friends and podcasters. Here, in Part 1, we deal with recasting timeless roles like Luke, Leia, Obi-Wan, and Han.
