The long wait is over — Star Wars: The Last Jedi has finally arrived on DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital in the UK today. To celebrate we’ve got an extra treat for anyone who’s ready to head back to a galaxy far, far away. We recently caught up with The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson, as well as the Last Jedi himself, aka Luke Skywalker, aka Mark Hamill, to talk about… well, mostly things that aren’t Star Wars.

During the 20-minute interview, the pair spoke with Chris Hewitt about their mancaves, dealing with fame, and their very first meeting — and you can hear the conversation right now as a special bonus episode of the Empire Podcast, available on Soundcloud, Planet Radio, and your podcast app of choice. It’s all part of a week-long bonanza of extra episodes — stay tuned every day this week for a new pod to drop, including spoiler specials for Ready Player One and A Quiet Place, and The Ranking of Brian De Palma’s top 10 movies.

If you want some intensive Last Jedi chat, revisit our Spoiler Special Podcast for Episode VIII, which includes Rian Johnson going deep on all the big decisions, plot revelations and more from the latest instalment in the Skywalker opus.
