The Myth Reawakens (2015x113)

:

In which John (WITH NO SPOILERS) discusses the new Stars Wars movie , The Force Awakens, in the context of the original Star Wars trilogy. Also discussed is Joseph Campbell's book The Hero with a Thousand Faces, which heavily influenced George Lucas while he was writing the first Star Wars films. And I talk about mythology, shared myths, how we assign personhood, whether wookies are people, etc.
