This week we're heading to Cloud City in search of an old friend. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Ethan, Ellie, Georgia - and Liam from Best Film Ever - as we're trying to fix the hyperdrive and avoid getting eaten. It's a Mandela Effect of a 68th episode as we discuss:

How the sequel came about
The Mandela effect of the most famous line in the film.
We moan a bit about the CGI that's been inserted into the film
Which famous line from the film was ad-libbed
Whether or not this is the best film in the Star Wars Franchise
Which face of the franchise was different due to an automotive accident
Who was most angry at not being clued in to the twist ending
We have a challenging discussion about fandom, nostalgia and a sense of ownership over media products
Whether or not The Empire Strikes Back is the Best Film Ever
