Digging into the roots of Star Wars, you find everything from 30’s action serials, Kurosawa, Sufism, and Frank Herbert’s Dune to obscure Japanese fantasy films. Having spent the last 6 years researching the story world of the series, I teamed up with the Duke of York’s Picturehouse in Brighton to present a special, 80-minute talk on how the mythological background of Star Wars helps understand its deeper themes.
I’m currently editing the talk and preparing to release an online version soon.
Sign up to the waiting list and I’ll send an e-mail the moment it’s ready.
