Countdown to Nine: Ep. Nine - O.G. "Jedi" talk with O.G. Mace! (w/Eric Walker & Daniel Betances)

The Countdown has been away for a couple months but we're ready to rev back into gear with a solid month of episodes catching you up to the present, one Star Wars movie at a time. This episode focuses on arguably everyone's favorite chapter of the original trilogy (or of them all) - The Empire Strikes Back. Paul and Sean are joined by actors Rusty Locke and Wayne Frazier (and Wayne's Slave-1) to talk about why this film rises above the rest. Is it Lucas taking a producer-only role? Is it an upgrade in special effects? Is it a darker tone? is it all the above? Yes.
