Episode 13, Rebellions Are Built On Hope
Episode description
Today, May the Fourth, is Star Wars Day! Our thanks to the machinations of the marketing genius that came up with that.
To commemorate this glorious hybrid holiday of cinema enthusiasm and nerddom, Daniel goes deep on the side of of Star Wars lore and culture that doesn't usually get mentioned: the socially-focused beginnings of the tale that began a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away; and the progression of Disney/Lucasfilm's storytelling approach that has led to the creation of the most polarizing boogeyman we see in today's online culture: the Social Justice Warrior (or SJW).
We invite you to kick back with a glass of blue milk, blare some Yub-Nub from your sub-woofers, and enjoy this special Star Wars Day episode of Justice in Motion.
