EP.   197

It's a moon! It's a starship! It's a podcast network! Ok in this case it's none of these…. The criminal underworld forms a vital part of Star Wars storytelling, especially for characters who want to, or could stand to, get their hands a little dirty. It challenges the narratives of order and security in a galaxy full of institutions that bank on those very narratives–literally and otherwise. More profoundly, it traces its own mythic origins to Campbell and behind him, the Hades of Greco-Roman imagination. It's therefore the essential first step in the hero’s journey out past the confines of everyday life with its familiar comforts of routines, practices and people. This week we truly go down to the lower levels, to the underworld.
