Star Wars Generations continues their deep dive into The Force Awakens, exploring the movie's characters, plot twists, and hidden Easter eggs. Hosts Matthew Fox, Erin McGowan, and Alex Korman continue their passionate discussion about the film that reignited the Star Wars franchise for a new generation.

The hosts kick off by examining the complex character of Finn, the stormtrooper-turned-hero. They ponder: How does Finn's background shape his interactions with Rey and his journey throughout the film? The conversation then shifts to Rey, the mysterious scavenger with untapped Force potential. The hosts debate: Why was Rey chosen to seek out Luke Skywalker, and what does this mean for her character arc?

A highlight of the episode is the hosts' analysis of Supreme Leader Snoke. They ask: Who is this enigmatic villain, and what role will he play in the trilogy? The discussion also touches on the often-overlooked Captain Phasma, with the hosts lamenting her limited screen time despite her intriguing design.

The hosts wrap up by reflecting on the movie's balance of nostalgia and new elements, and how it succeeded in reinvigorating the Star Wars franchise.
