CWK Show #561: The History and Politics of Star Wars Author Chris Kempshall

Chris Kempshall joins me to discuss his new book, The History and Politics of Star Wars: Death Stars and Democracy. We discuss the ways history and Star Wars can reflect each other, combining academics and this galaxy far, far away, and what an analysis of popular culture can teach us about the real world.
