Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Rachel the G*ngan Simp?

Between Prequel memes, Sequel woes, and whatever the hell Greedo is, there’s a lot to be said about Star Wars. The film franchise is as sacred as Sarim is egregiously handsome. But this is Rough Draft. What of the dialogue, the plot? The clever allusions and intriguing imagery? Just how well is this age-old epic written?

Star Wars has many iconic narrative moments, all ripe for thought-provoking, critical analysis by a pair of distinguished academics. Luckily, your hosts are anything but.

We start with The Hero’s Journey. This classic archetype is what Star Wars was built on. The series boasts brilliant examples of the Hero’s Journey arc - even some you may not expect. From sand-sulking Skywalkers to tantalising Togrutas, there are all sorts of heroes to follow in the galaxy far, far away.

Also Jar-Jar. Apparently.

In this episode, Rachel and Sarim attempt to Force a balance of their own.
