On May 19, 1999, the world welcomed the long-awaited release of the introduction trilogy of the Star Wars story. That day changed how we viewed the Star Wars universe. For this anniversary review, Tim watched SW:TPM for the first time in 20 years. Dustin hasn't seen it since that fateful day in 1999 and wants to know Tim's thoughts. They review the movie and its impact on the film industry. The night after watching SW:TPM, Tim watched Solo: A Star Wars Story for the first time and does some comparisons between the two movies. Tim develops his 'blundering to success' character analysis after listening to some of the director's commentary from SW:TPM. The blundering to success  expands from JarJar Binks and young Anakin Skywalker to Captain Jack Sparrow, John McClane, Indiana Jones, and Kevin McCallister. And Dustin argues with himself about George Lucas. Questions or comments? Email us at podcast@prosceniafilmsociety.org. We are also @prosceniafilm on Instagram (Tim) and Twitter (Dustin).
