Bogans Advocate #8 | The Last Jedi | Defending the Sequel Trilogy’s Boldest Risks?

Prepare for a chat about the most polarizing chapter of the sequel trilogy with the Star Wars Escape Pod’s "Bogan’s Advocate" session for The Last Jedi. In this episode, the crew tackles the subversion of expectations head-on, from the startling introduction of a disillusioned Luke Skywalker to the "no-twist" revelation of Rey’s parentage. While the crew marvels at the film's top-tier cinematography and striking use of red in the Snoke's throne room duel, they don't hold back on the pacing issues of some Canto Bight events or the introduction of new Force powers. It’s a balanced, high-energy discussion that explores whether Rian Johnson’s creative risks paid off or pushed the franchise too far off the predictable path. Don't forget about the ending of our podcast as we close out with the wacky wildest chapter of Anakins lost diary we've ever seen!
