We laughed, we cried, and Alan almost died on Episode 73 of Idiot's Array. Alan, Mark, and Ryder start this episode by discussing the new Star Wars: Resistance trailer. What did we like and what are we looking forward to?
Then the show goes out of bounds as we talk about many of our listeners responses to #StarWarsASportsMovie. Also, Ryder does his best to ruin the show with an Admiral Piett discussion and some personal stories. This episode may not look like much, but it's got it where it counts, kid.

Alan, Mark, and Ryder begin the show by discussing the Episode IX casting announcement. What are we most excited about? What surprised us the most?
For our main topic we discuss the Star Wars theme that anybody can become somebody.
-Why do we love this storytelling theme so much in Star Wars?
-What makes for a better story: a character who puts themselves in the underdog situation or someone who is put there by another character?
-Does this theme work for Dark Side characters also?
We also ask for listener feedback on #StarWarsASportsMovie on our Twitter feed.
You are definitely somebody to us and we'd love you to join us for Episode 72!

Would Han Solo actually have been a better mentor for Ben Solo?
