Episode: Season 2 Episode 9 - Star Wars and Orientalism with Ali Sadek
Description: Star Wars. It's a wide and fascinating galaxy filled with all sorts of landscapes and people, and yet time and time again we seem to return to desert planets that seem to resemble this thing called "The Orient." We brought on our friend, Ali Sadek, to talk to us about Orientalism and Star Wars, and how our favorite galaxy far far away could do a better job of representing the desert and the people who live there.You can buy Post Colonial Star Wars: Essays on Empire and Rebellion in a Galaxy Far Far Away here!<...
