Episode Intro

Love it or hate it, we’re got the first movies of the sequel trilogy this week.

Hey gang, I’m your host, Brian Rollins and this week, we’ve got Star Wars The Force Awakens Trivia on tap. The new movies were divisive to say the least. But, we covered the other six movies in the Skywalker saga, so it only stands to reason we hit Episodes 7-9.
