Manage episode 466429633 series 120214
When viewers complained that Lucas's Star Wars movies were too politicized, he responded by joking that he hoped people would see the political situations he was describing. In this episode of Tarkin's Top Shelf, your hosts discuss the political influences that shaped the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, The New Republic, and The First Order in a galaxy far, far away. But first, Mark and Becca talk about the recent Star Wars: Daisy Ridley interview with Collider, Space.com "spoiler-free" interview with Alexander Freed, and George Nolfi updates on the upcoming Star Wars: Rey's New Jedi Order film.
