Thus Always To Tyrants: The Politics of Star Wars

Video Description

What do you see when you imagine the reign of the Galactic Empire? Do you see the extermination of the Jedi Order? Do you see the boot and blaster of an Imperial stormtrooper? Do you see the darkness fast approaching to cover the entire galaxy? You probably do. After all, you know how this story ends. But those who lived in it didn’t. Just like us, they knew only the past and present, while the future was ever uncertain. So let us place ourselves in the boots of a common man living in the Galactic Empire. Let us imagine his world; let us learn of the follies of autocracy, and the downfall of tyrants.
