The Desert of the Reel: A Movie Podcast

The Philosophy Behind the Force - The Desert of the Reel


Listen Later

This episode delves deeply into the philosophical roots of Star Wars' Force. Largely a filibuster by Jason, with insightful questions and comments from Ryan, we cover the Force as a whole using Taoism; explore the specific underpinnings of its Yin and Yang, the Light Side and the Dark Side; Han Solo's skepticism; and the union of both sides into a perfect ethical system.

Beware all ye that enter here! We're bravely going where no DOTR episode has gone before!

Next week, we are watching Matchstick Men (2003).
