27 - Before the Storm

We start another trilogy with Michael P. Kube-McDowell's 1996 banger Before the Storm. We all loved this one! It has everything: meaningful discussion about politics and the role of military intervention, devastating takedowns of Luke's fake-transcended mommy issues by Leia, and Lando being cool as shit. Topics include those, what Yoda would be like as a misogynistic fathers-rights podcaster, Han treating Chewbacca as a slave, and the too-near-for-comfort comparison between the actions of the Yevetha and the genocide Israel is committing in Palestine. Content warnings include slavery, settler-colonialism, the genocide in Palestine, misogyny, imperialism, and violence. -- MEDIA --
