This is The Daily Knight for Tuesday, December 22, 2015. This episode is brought to you by GeekSwag, original geek art and paraphernalia. Check us out at Geekswag.me or our Facebook page at facebook.com/geekswagme. I’m your host, Gerardo San Diego. Believe me, I’m gonna talk about other things that are not Star Wars, but for this next week, since everyone’s talking about Star Wars, let’s just get it out of our system….
The show basically discusses some of the “controversies” this week regarding Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and people’s “quibbles” with the character of Rey, played by Daisy Ridley.
