Ep #30: Mon Mothma - A Life of Public Service

It's time again form Star Wars politics! This week Swara
and guest host Carly Lane (Nerdist, Syfywire, Supergirl Radio)
delve into the history, political philosophy and escapades of the
leader of the Rebel Alliance, Mon Mothma.


Senator/Chancellor/Commander-in-Chief Mon Mothma has been through
and seen it all in the Star Wars universe. From her time in the
Old Republic, denouncing Palpatine’s authority and to her
leadership of the Rebellion to founding the New Republic, Mon
Mothma’s life provides the definitive lens through which to view
the political history of the Galaxy. Swara and Carly discuss her
origins, motivations and all-around awesomeness in this
illuminating episode. We also discuss Carly’s recent article in
Syfywire on the diverse strength of women in Star Wars
(especially with Padme Amidala), the role Carrie Fisher/General
Leia will have in future Star Wars properties and much more.
