Episode 89: 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' BLINDSPOT + Re-casting 'Star Wars: A New Hope' in a New Segment called The Verse! Re’Verse!

Summary: <p>We’re taking a break from new content this week and REvisiting the first Star Wars sequel, <strong>The Force Awakens</strong>, as well as REcasting the stars of the original trilogy’s <strong>Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope</strong> in a fresh segment called The Verse! RE’Verse! (aka Role Re'Verse-al - we're working it out)</p> <p>Long ago in a galaxy very close to here, we discovered the last nerdy person who hasn’t seen Star Wars in Emilia, and she’s well on her way to graduating from her padawan status with episode VII under her belt. Will she love or hate the highly divisive sequel trilogy? Or will she just kinda…not care? Is that even possible for a Star Wars fan?</p> <p>We also introduce a new game called Role Re’Verse-al in which we return to a beloved film and recast it with a new set of phases from a particular time period, franchise, or genre. In this episode, we bring our celeb expertise to <em>Star Wars: A New Hope</em>, only suggesting actors who are currently active in Hollywood. What did you think of our final casts? Who did it best? Let us know on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/TheVerseCast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@TheVerseCast!</a></p> <p>In addition to collecting listener questions and comments, we also post news and announcements about the pod so give us a follow to stay up to date on Twitter.</p> <p>If you stick around after the credits…actually, I got nothing. Sorry, budget cuts.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>EPISODE BREAKDOWN: 0:00 - Intro // 3:08 - The News // 17:30 - STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS BLINDSPOT// 47:52 - Role Re-Verse-al!
