Star Wars! Right? Star Wars? With Burl Ives? And goats and chickens? Jackson is realizing this method might be an interesting novelty but not necessarily the best way to make Ryan fall in love with Star Wars. This TV movie is pretty interesting on a historical level if not an entertainment one. But hey, we found it pretty entertaining. IT EATS TICKLES!!!!

Here's the big one fellas. This is where we decide if Ryan is going to enjoy the Beggar's Canyon Boys experience going forward. Will the amazing direction of Irvin Kirshner and the slower pace to develop characters be enough to engage him, or will he still just be annoyed at Han and Chewie? Let's freakin find out. Or as Yoda would say, "Freakin find out, we will".

Jackson continues to try and convince Ryan that the first Star Wars movie is really good, but Ryan brings some controversial takes about the comic adaptation. How many hugs and kisses did Leia give each character in the first movie? Who's a cooler character, Jaxxon the Green Rabbit, or Amazia, Den-Mother of the Black-Hole Gang? Is Jackson betting the farm on Ryan liking Empire Strikes Back?
