What does the Star Wars franchise have to say about freedom of movement? How would our heroes respond to claims that Trump's border wall will bring “peace and security”? In this episode we talk about these questions, give a shoutout to the rebels of No More Deaths/No Mas Muertes (nomoredeaths.org) who are facing charges for humanitarian aid work at the US-Mexico border, and we answer a question from a listener about whether there are forces of good in Star Wars at all.

We discuss animal liberation and animal rights in the Star Wars universe. Also: Palpatine's Contingency plan and how it relates to the US government's doomsday scenarios; are the Resistance “Extremists”?; and much (much) more!

Let's get more people to defect! Tell two people about the show IRL, and use the hashtag #Defect when spreading the word on social media. It'll be highly defective. I mean effective.

Defectors Episode 2: A Hack of the Phones

Recorded September 13, 2018

On this episode of Defectors, Jon and Grayson discuss the rebels fighting deforestation in Germany with catapults and Ewok-style tree villages (and their awesome new Star Wars themed video), the concept of security culture and how it applies to Star Wars (hint: Han is bad at it), as well as lightsabers, Star Wars car decals, and more.

We support the defenders of the Hambach Forest in Germany.
