In this week’s episode, Julian Chambliss, Dianne Turgeon Richardson, Tod Caviness, and Kevin Hutchinson join me in a roundtable discussion of Star Wars. We talk about the questionable genius of George Lucas, the role of Disney in anticipating the needs and desires of the SW audience, the imposition of romance in war narratives, and the profound role of play in our development of self. A lot of beer was drunk. We made fun of each other.
