Episode 234: ATL Comic Convention: 20 Years of Revenge of the Sith
At ATL Comic Convention, CatBusRuss attempted to hold his own with "Star Wars" experts by being a panelist on "20 Years of Revenge of the Sith". He seemed to have held his own when discussing "The Last Jedi", but this third prequel of the Skywalker Saga may have held a more personal place in the hearts of his fellow panelists.
CatBus was joined by the hosts of the "Full of Sith" podcast, Bryan Young (writer for StarWars.com) and Holly Frey (an executive producer for the iHeartRadio podcast network), and Maggie Lovitt (deputy editor at Collider). After their resumes, Russ acknowledged that he may have only been on the panel for the hot takes. Since he is a pro-35mm film fan and his topical comparisons to current events in the 2nd Trump administration were shutdown, perhaps he served his role.
He felt like he was up against the cult of Lucas, but he could not help but admire the passion for the sixth best "Star Wars" feature (per Screen Drafts). Is the CatBus just another jaded, childless Gen Xer?
