One of the last great UCB shows becomes Essential anarchic TV for the modern malaise
3 August 2020
I am a former disgruntled UCB Padawan that left most UcB shows feeling like I was probably wasting my life and my dreams were all a total sham, but then I found the George Lucas Talk Show. I didn't get to witness the wild and woolly glory days of UcB past where experimental comedic theater ran rampant, but I doubt any of it had as much heart and soul as the George Lucas Talk Show. Gentle, generous souls George Lucas and child slave trader extraordinaire Watto take the talk show format to a galaxy far far away from what competing meta ironic talk shows are doing, and somehow always manage to wrangle in some of the most confounding high profile guests along the way.

The Twitch era has really benefitted the show in every way. Especially regarding the guests who back in the flesh world were often actively confused or struggling to catch up. In quarantine everyone feels looser and less self conscious and that's exactly what makes the show fly by like an Irish man on an runaway pod racer.

What did we have to look forward to on Sundays? A sad British man in a box telling us about how the world is dying? Well now there's a reason to rejoice, kick back and butter your boys and maybe learn a little twist or two along the way.

10 Ton Tons out of Ton. watch this show!!
