Ep #26: Live at Oak City Comicon

It’s our second Comic-Con panel! Stephen and Swara are joined by
friend of the show Nick Dicolandrea of Coffee With Kenobi to
discuss “Star Wars goes to Washington,” and a bit of the
international perspective of Star Wars as well. In our live panel
at Oak City Comic-Con, we discuss political use of Star Wars from
the 1980s to modern day, why it resonates with people of various
political persuasions, and we even delve into some international
political perceptions of Star Wars. In the Q&A section, our
awesome audience joined us in a conversation of topics such as: Who
in politics reminds of Galen Erso, and how do we think of the term
“rebel” in the context of being in the American South. Take a
listen and be part of the ongoing conversation on the politics of
Star Wars! Follow Nick on Twitter @NickDiCo Follow Coffee With
