Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stitch vs Yoda
Q: Why didn't Yoda train Leia instead of Luke?
Because Luke put in the effort, he took the X-wing to Dagobah and showed up, while Yoda lets people make their own choices, good or bad.

Be really funny, and have to have logic that rounds up well with how your debate works.
