Our The Force Awakens series begins with Poe Dameron getting part of the map to Luke Skywalker just before Kylo Ren and the First Order attack.
We are beginning our year-long series covering The Force Awakens as we celebrate its tenth anniversary. In this series, we will break the movie down into 10-15 minute segments and discuss them in detail with a guest. From favorite moments and behind the scenes details to trivia and nostalgia, we’ll be taking a deep look at the movie over the course of the year. In this episode, we meet Poe Dameron and FN-2187 as the Resistance tries to locate Luke Skywalker and recruit him to their fight against the First Order. Thanks for joining us for this series on Podcast Stardust.
