  Episode #215

  A Jedi Reformation?

  Aug 10, 20261h 46m

  EP. 215 Reason, progress, change, negotiating with institutional authority: these are largely the legacy of the Protestant Reformation, the decisive schism that divided and forged modern Western Europe in the 16th century. As a product of Western Civilization as well, Star Wars often looks to these ideals and their historical roots. David Lindlehof even made this explicit when he described the major influence of the film he was going to make, set after the events of the Sequel Trilogy. This week we examine that possibility, with the help of a thoughtful article, and consider if the Reformation would work as a model of Rey’s rebuilt Jedi Order.

  Episode #212

  The Types of War in Star Wars

  Jul 20, 20261h 53m

  EP. 212 Star Wars. Famously, it has wars in it. The franchise isn’t pro-war, but often exposes the complexity, corruption and even moral struggle that often characterize armed conflict. It also examines the forces that lead to war: some of those forces are ideological, some involve a clash of worldviews and religions, many are driven by economic factors, and of course all of them rely heavily on political calculations. Naturally, the Clone Wars, the Rebellion against the Empire and the Resistance’s struggle to oust the First Order as well as conflicts in our world connect to a number of these at once. However, in-universe and real-world historians work to point to a narrative that highlights a primary cause that was at issue leading to military action. This week we put on our historical thinking caps and examine the motivations behind the wars of Star Wars!
