They discuss George Lucas’s Vietnam War influences and anti-imperial framework; myth and generational conflict in the original trilogy; the rise of intellectual property and Silicon Valley ideology; the shift from rebellion to bureaucracy in The Phantom Menace; its depiction of trade, governance, and liberal institutional decay; the racialized and cultural representations in the prequels; the transformation of the Jedi into enforcers; technology and scientism; and how The Phantom Menace reflects the politics of the late 1990s “end of history” moment.

I've been struggling to understand evangelicals in politics and American foreign policies. This episode was a very helpful beginning . Thank you!

This busted a personal nagging mystery!

Derek really shows as always how much he knows about current events in nearly every region.

In addition, I really liked Bessner's question about Kazakhstan vs. popular protest in the modern age of state militarization. If you guys ever found scholars that focus on this topic broadly world-wide or in other regions, I think they would make for really good interviews.

Valuable Foreign Policy Perspective as always
