Ep. 266: Deconstructing a Very Disappointing Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker/Christmas, Santa Claus, the KKK and Jessie Jackson

Summary: Chauncey DeVega and fellow Star Wars expert Bill the Lizard offer a very critical and spoiler-filled discussion of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the movie’s many problems with plot, narrative, characters, and emotion. They are also deeply concerned with how The Rise of Skywalker, specifically, and the Kylo Ren-Rey relationship, more generally, shows emotionally and physically abusive relationships as somehow being ultimately “romantic”.
