Tyrants love your despair, but Star Wars is fighting for hope

Hope is like the sun. So says General Leia. This week on Beltway Banthas, some thoughts on why the struggle for hope in hopeless times is the good fight.

Of course, this all revolves around the wisdom of the galaxy far far away like any good Beltway Banthas episode would do.  Pre-Order the book!
