Next up is something a little more lighthearted: I'm going to talk about Star Wars! I will be discussing my personal history with and relation to Star Wars (which is a bit of a strange story), and go in-depth into how the nature of storytelling has changed from the original trilogy to the recent sequel trilogy, how Star Wars expanded beyond the main films, and what the future of this modern mythos might look like.

It was really one of the first pure Hero's Journey scifi film I ever saw - looking forward to hearing more about your experience with it

I have a LOT of thoughts about Star Wars as a cultural phenomenon. From the way the Original Trilogy lifted American society out of the quagmire of the 70s, or how the Prequel Trilogy flirted with the structural corruptions inherit within the political system, and to even how the Sequel Trilogy reveals the ennui and pessimism our modern culture has developed for heroic stories. I've always felt the world's reaction to Star Wars says much more about the world than the films.
