Lettuce Wars: The Lettuce Awakens - Show Notes

May the Force be with you! The Lettuce Podcast travels to a galaxy far, far away to chat about Star Wars: The Force Awakens in this all-moderated episode. Charlotte, Tori, and Laura discuss the characters both old and new, how Episode VII fits into the Star Wars and Disney franchises, and the use of technology in creating the look of the film. Charlotte and Tori talk about their love of the character Finn, while Laura finds him less likeable. Tori talks about the new Cantina song and its composer, who also wrote the musical Hamilton. Laura mentions her relief that a love story was not forced into the story. Charlotte shares that she found the use of 3D technology more enjoyable that most other films. What made Kylo Ren turn to the dark side? Is the character of Rey too perfect? Is Poe Dameron more than just a smarmy pilot? All these topics and more are up for debate in this week's episode!

The ratings sections bring a good showing for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The average rating out of 5 Chards was 4.25! The Fun & Games segment brought a fun quiz to the table: Which Color Lightsaber Would You Wield?. Take the quiz along with us and tell us your result! Lastly, a round of Kill, Marry, Pity Date closed out Fun & Games. 

It was a very eventful Shout-Outs segment! Laura and Charlotte read comments 
from friends and family who wanted to share their thoughts about Episode VII. A special thanks to Rich, Laura (Charlotte's sister), and William for sharing their thoughts in this section. 

The winners of The Lettuce Podcast's first giveaway were also announced. Congratulations to our winners! Please send an e-mail to thelettucepodcast@gmail.com with the address to which you'd like your prize sent.

Our Star Wars Podsnack was Princess Leia Cinnamon Buns made by Tori. The Podtail was a Qui Gon Gin & Tonic made by Laura.



Lastly, a special announcement was made: Tori will be returning to school starting this spring semester and will be taking more of a backseat in The Lettuce Podcast car as a result. She'll still be stopping by to act as a guest or guest moderator from time time, but Charlotte and Laura will be taking the helm. We're happy to be able to help Tori achieve her goals, but sad that we'll be a seeing a bit less of her. Good luck!
