Chris talking in detail about Star Wars = most shocking WRA yet.
Easily the best part of this show is the rundown of Yoda in the prequels.
Oh, if only the bit about stapling a woman were more widely reported.
It’s hard for me to begin thinking about how bad the Star Wars prequels were, because they consist of one million interlocking piles of bullshit.
