Star Wars - with Chris Kempshall and Jack Klaff
Episode 5
Wednesday, 7 October, 2026
Definitely Not Vietnam Month takes us to a galaxy far, far away as we discuss a 1977 film about a small resistance movement taking on and beating a powerful empire. Joining us to explain that Darth Vader isn't actually in Star Wars is historian of the universe Chris Kempshall, while zipping by in his X-Wing with memories of the shoot is actor Jack Klaff, who played one of the pilots to take on the Death Star. Rob wants to know whether anyone involved in the film understood what they were making, but Duncan's big question is about Imperial health and safety policies.Next week: Definitely Not Vietnam Month continues with Southern ComfortDrop us a line!
