About this episode
Star Wars: A New Hope.
Very few films can say they have change the medium forever, yet that is exactly what happened in 1977 with the release of Star Wars, a sense of wonder was rekindled and a feeling of hope that had been lost in the "realism" of films in the 1970s returned to the silver screen.
In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by Rebel leader John Mills and special guests Riley and Bethany Blanton from The Star Wars Report to talk about Star Wars: A New Hope. We discuss our Episode IV experiences, continuing the story, the final death of The Republic, the new "Chosen One", the spiritual side, new characters and old friends, wrapping up with ratings and final thoughts.
