Today, Fable and the Verbivore are thrilled to share part one of our Star Wars series.

In this episode, we cover the main story arc and themes within the Skywalker saga of films. Spoiler alert We break down these three trilogies as follows:

- Prequel Trilogy - Episodes 1-3: The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker

- Original Trilogy - Episodes 4-6: The Turn of Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) or Luke’s Hero’s Journey

- Sequel Trilogy - Episodes 7-9: The Redemption of Ben Solo

George Lucas has said that Star Wars is like poetry, it rhymes. So, throughout our conversation, we talk about the recurring themes of compassion, hope, and fear. We mention several visual cues that crop up throughout the films and dive into the meaning of all of those masks that different characters wear.

But most importantly we talk about unconditional love, having faith that someone can choose a different path, and a possible hidden meaning behind the “I will finish what you started” line from The Force Awakens.

We hope you enjoy this episode as we venture into a galaxy far, far away!

Keep reading, writing, and putting your voice out there!

Into the woods,
