How Star Wars, once the best and most beloved, has become an embarrassment of failure and mediocrity felt (or ignored) around the world.

What happens when your childhood passion collides with unexpected changes? From playing with X-Wing and Millennium Falcon toys to camping out for The Phantom Menace, my love for Star Wars has been a defining aspect of my life. However, the Disney era brought challenges, especially with the novel "Aftermath" by Chuck Wendig, which included a gay character and disrupted my sense of escapism. Despite these hurdles, my excitement for "The Force Awakens" remained, clinging to the hope that Disney could recapture the franchise’s magic.

Beyond the realm of Star Wars, we delve into the profound connection between myth and truth, contrasting the fantastical with deeper spiritual teachings. By drawing parallels between iconic heroes like Luke Skywalker and Aragorn with Jesus Christ, we explore how stories can guide us toward spiritual enlightenment. Curious about Orthodox Christianity? We invite you to visit a local parish and speak with a priest. Tune in to Cloud of Witnesses Radio as we uncover the truths that lie beneath our most cherished myths.
