How does the Galactic Senate in Star Wars work? Does Naboo have a voting age limit? How did Palpatine manipulate the Senate into becoming the Emperor? Well, in a special May the 4th episode I will explain the politics of the Star Wars prequels but also tear them apart because they don't make sense. Seriously - there is some serious nonsense word soup going on. So enjoy this lengthy rant of one part education one part film critique as I combine my film degree with my passion for politics.
