“I Am A Jedi, Like My Father Before Me”: Fear, Detachment and the Force in Star Wars | THE LEGEND-MAKERS
Join us as we ponder the difference between the light and dark sides of the Force, recite some Lebanese poetry, explore the difference between true detachment and emotionless apathy, discuss some of our favourite character journeys, and -- most importantly -- engage in the evergreen sport of calling Anakin Skywalker the galaxy’s biggest clown. All of that and more in this -- a very special Jedi Episode!
A few logistical notes:
Love you guys, and see you in two weeks!
