Book Description:
|
Despite the insatiable public appetite for all things Star Wars, the more analytical side of the saga is all too often ignored. This book offers a new way of seeing George Lucas' space opera, in particular the three prequel films. The trilogy is viewed through the lens of myth and metaphor, revealing a body of work worthy of scholarly study. A variety of philosophical and mythological themes are presented, drawing from a rich source of scholars, thinkers, writers, and poets from East and West.
