What do historians have to say about Star Wars? Quite a lot actually! Joined by Edinburgh Teaching Fellow (and Star Wars fan) Tereza Valney, Frank and David examine the series through the historical lens, including:
- What historical analogies did George Lucas intend and audiences see in the Original Trilogy? Are Storm Troopers Space Nazis? Is the Rebellion the Vietcong? Is the Soviet Union the Empire?
- What is the relationship between the Prequel Trilogy and the War on Terror?
- What do the new films tell us about the current political and cultural moment?
