Welcome back to the DGP ranking of the Star Wars movies! :) Here in Part 2, we pick up with each Geeks' top 3s of the 9 trilogy movies (a.k.a. The Skywalker Saga). Afterwards, the Geeks backtrack to fit in "Rogue One" and "Solo," rate the trilogies overall, and discuss the TV series.

- All four Geeks have a different Star Wars movie ranked at #3. Which movie do you think each Geek picked?

- What were the various reasons for four different Star Wars movies making it into everyone's top 3s but not everyone's top 2s?

- Which Geek was particularly impressed with the music in "A New Hope"?

- How much did Carrie Fisher (a.k.a. Princess Leia) contribute to dialogue improvement in certain Star Wars movies? How many movies, play, and books did she write? And what are some of the many movies on which she served as "script doctor"?

- Is it any big surprise that the three movies of the original/middle trilogy faired so well in all four Geeks' lists? Which movies of that trilogy don't quite make it into all four top 3 lists, and which movies from the prequel and/or sequel trilogy take their place?

- Which movie is the only one to be in all four Geeks' top 3s, and what were the various reasons for it being so well regarded?

- Which Geek had the most controversial ranking amongst the group, and which movie of his was the biggest outlier?

- How many herbs & spices are in the colonel's secret KFC recipe?

- Which "Gilmore Girls" character pokes holes in the "high ground" moment from "Revenge of the Sith"?

- What were the arguments for and against the directing, writing, fight choreography, and psychology, in "Revenge of the Sith"?

- Todd kept score, with each 9th-place ranking getting 1 point, 8th-place getting 2 points, 1st-place getting 9 points, etc. When totaled, which movie of the three trilogies won overall 1st place by a 5-point margin? Which two movies tied for overall 2nd, with a 7-point margin over 4th place? And, which two movies tied for overall last place, just one point lower than the 7th-place movie?

- When discussing "Solo" and "Rogue One," what were some of their positives & negatives, and which of the two faired better?

- How did the Geeks rank the three trilogies? Which Geek said he could sum up his review of one of those trilogies with a one-second sound effect (and, in an upcoming episode, clarifies his statement that he doesn't mean that as a negative reflection of those that worked so hard on the various artistic & technical aspects of that trilogy)?

- What were the Geeks' opinions about the Star Wars TV shows (with focus on "The Mandalorian")?

- And, who makes special appearances in the outro for the first time since the outro for episode #008 of this podcast, the review for "Solo: A Star Wars Story"?
