There’s nothing more peaceful than dissecting a much loved Star Wars movie… right? In today’s episode, we do exactly that, sharing our thoughts on Rogue One. From Darth Vader inspiring fear to 13th-century chant Dies Irae, Chekhov’s Gun, K-2SO, and you guys! As a Cereal Show first, we included six hot takes from our listeners, contributing to a well-rounded discussion of what is arguably considered one of the best Star Wars movies ever made.

(Please check the parent’s guide on IMDB before deciding if this is a movie you would be comfortable watching)
