About the episode

Chris talks about the news that X-Men director Simon Kinberg has been tapped to write and produce a new Star Wars trilogy and questions whether or not this project will ever come to fruition or just join the other Star Wars projects that Disney announced and subsequently canned (1:00). He is then joined by author Patrick Radden Keefe to talk about adapting his book Say Nothing, which delves into the troubles in Northern Ireland, as a series for FX (16:36) and the challenges that come with translating such a dense historical time period to the screen (29:05).
