Ep #31: Money In Galactic Politics (Part I)

Stephen and Swara discuss the role of money in politics
in the Star Wars universe. The discussion covers the role of the
Trade Federation in The Phantom Menace, and how the concern of
money in politics is plays out in our own world.


George Lucas' message in prequel trilogy on the dangers of money
in politics was pretty clear. We discuss the roots of that
message and how average Americans feel about this issue. Stephen
and Swara also touch upon some real world political news, read a
listener e-mail on Mon Mothma and offer their regular bantha
fodder.
