23: Banned From the Ranch (Special Edition)

Just after Disney acquired LucasFilm in the fall of 2012, Moisés spoke with film critic Drew McWeeny about the doors opened by a regime change, the early days of Ain't It Cool, his being officially banned from Skywalker Ranch, and the best way to watch Star Wars with your kids, among other things. 2.5 years later, and on the heels of the opening of Star Wars Celebration 2015, Drew comes off as more prescient than anyone gave him credit for being...at the time or since. The discussion featured in this Newly Remastered, Re-Edited Special Edition episode first posted on 5 November 2012.
