On today's Aftercast... Daryl and Jay love the Disney Star Wars Sequel Trilogy thus far (THE FORCE AWAKENS and THE LAST JEDI), but if we HAD to find a way to make it better... what would we do? Here are some of the topics from today's Aftercast:
- Is "bathos" overused inTHE LAST JEDI?
- Was THE FORCE AWAKENS too derivative or was it paying homage?
- Why don't we like Canto Bight? And how could we make that better?
