Episode description
In addition to being the whiniest Jedi ever put to film, Anakin Skywalker is also a fantastic example of criminological General Strain Theory in action! Learn how the Jedi are kinda the worst, how Obi-Wan's also a master of emotional abuse and how nerdy one man can be in talking about all of these. By the end of this podcast you may actually feel that from your point of view the Jedi are evil.
