Ep. 7: Why We Love Star Wars
We get dicey with hot-takes all around as we discuss the beloved Star Wars franchise. Focusing exclusively on the films (particularly the Skywalker Saga), we explore Star Wars as a myth that embodies the Hero's Journey, how Anakin is the product of his environment, whether it's appropriate to deconstruct your heroes, and how Star Wars inspires us to live a meaningful story.
