Episode Conclusion

And we are done. This probably won’t be our last visit to a Galaxy Far Far Away. Especially since there are two other theatrically released movies and a bunch of TV series. I know the Sequel trilogy wasn’t for everyone, but I know a few kids that had their interest in the franchise sparked by these movies.

I’ll be back next week with another episode. Here’s a clue to ponder in the meantime:

Which Marvel hero was born in Canada in the late 19th Century?

I feel like I should have covered this character by now, but I have not. I will rectify this problem next Wednesday.
