    The Skywalker Saga: Nine Films. Nine Theories
    May 23 2025

    This special intro episode sets the stage for a full arc dedicated to the Skywalker Saga—nine Star Wars films, each unpacked through a different film theory. From postcolonialism and Marxism to feminist theory and formalism, we reframe the galaxy far, far away as a mirror of our own. Whether you listen in order or pick your favorites, this arc invites you to see Star Wars not just as space opera—but as cultural text.

    Revenge of the Sith: The Mind of a Monster
    May 23 2025

    Revenge of the Sith isn’t just a story of betrayal—it’s the unraveling of a mind caught between love, fear, and identity. This episode explores Anakin’s fall through the lens of psychoanalytic theory, using Freud and Lacan to understand his unconscious desires and fear of loss. In trying to stop death, he loses everything. Including himself.

    A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi are dropping next week!

    Attack of the Clones: Manufactured Wars, Manufactured Consent
    May 23 2025

    In Attack of the Clones, war doesn’t emerge—it’s engineered. This episode explores the film through a Marxist lens, looking at how capital, class, and compliance drive the creation of the Clone Army. As the Jedi shift from peacekeepers to military commanders, we examine how labor is erased, power is disguised, and ideology keeps the war machine running without question.
