This is perhaps the best Star Wars coverage they have ever done in the show’s history. When they reviewed Star Wars in their 1980 special on science fiction films, they mainly focused on it’s special effects and action set pieces. This time, they not only focused on those, but also the mythology behind the series. My only disappointment is that they didn’t mention the samurai influence, particularly Kurosawa films. But that’s only one beef I have with this episode.
