Disney Star Wars Dusting Off Lucas' TRILOGY Plans?!

On this episode of Coolest Alive, host Jesse Blaze Snider is digging into the mythic fault line that runs through modern fandom, starting with what Disney actually ignored when they bought Star Wars: George Lucas.

It was tossed aside in favor of safe nostalgia and brand management. What was Lucas’s Star Wars meant to become? Why was it “too risky,” and how did not going with his plan fracture the shared cultural myth that once held generations together? Plus, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy face-planted on YouTube, and a random channel posted a Spock action figure and beat it. One thing is for sure, Star Wars & Star Trek need an overall & the Coolest Geek Alive knows just what to do!
