Classic Themes in Modern Myth: Star Wars - Prequels

Closing out this exploration of martial themes in the Star Wars films, Jaredd Wilson of the Martial Thoughts Podcast and I talk about the prequels. One of the things that seems obvious in retrospect, but I had never noticed before was how closely the story of the Jedi in the prequels parallels the myths of the Shaolin temple. I hope you’ve enjoyed this little foray into martial themes found in the modern myths of the Star Wars stories. Let me know what you thought and if you noticed anything we missed.
