Teatime on Tatooine

Episode 20: "The Force is strong in my family."

What is it about family in Star Wars? About its parent/child dynamics that makes it so unique? My guest Nick Griffith (husband and friend of the podcast) and I look down the barrel of twin turbolasers primed with generations of familial trauma, loss, and healing. How come there are so many abandoned and orphaned children in the galaxy? What is it about the death of a parent that radicalizes a child? Does the Skywalker Saga end with Rey? Just in time for the Christmas season - let’s zoom in on dysfunctional families. But don’t worry! The future of families in Star Wars is bright, thanks to the introduction of Skeleton Crew. Pour your tea and get comfy.  Written by: Anna TrumboEdited by: Anna Trumbo & Sam Kieffer
