Last week Dan and I had the opportunity to speak with Chris Kempshall, author of The History and Politics of Star Wars and of The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire. The conversation was so productive and enjoyable that we went on for long enough to justify two podcast episodes. In the first we work through the academic logic of writing books on Star Wars, then move into an in depth discussion of the first chapters of History and Politics, particularly the history and politics of the Galactic Empire. We’ll post the second ep next week.

This one is really fun. Transcript available here.
