Join host Brad Whipple (@bradwhipple) as he sits down with Emrys and Lúthien from Girls with Sabers (@GirlswSabers). Today, we discuss why Star Wars is a fairy tale and venture back to its initial creation by George Lucas. Lucas envisioned the story as breaking the boundaries of science fiction to tell a "fantasy story." We then analyze the impact of fairy tales in our own lives and why their endings have important consequences for both children and adults.
