-How can we relate hope in Star Wars to our daily lives? 

-How does the Bystander Effect come into play?

As Star Wars fans, we all have our favorite duos, whether they be Anakin and Obi-Wan, Leia and Han, R2-D2 and C-3PO, or Vader and Palpatine. But who are some of the unconventional and overlooked duos in the saga? On Episode 248, we discuss some of our favorite duos who don't immediately come to mind. We also talk about some characters who we would like to see paired up. 

To start the show, we talk about which directors we would like to see lead a Star Wars film, and also some other movies ideas we'd like to pitch. We would be honored if you would join us.
