It's pretty easy to maintain peace for a thousand years when you have mind control powers in your diplomatic toolbox. Bruce and Larry talk politics and society...in the Star Wars universe! The Force Awakens is right around the corner, and we decided to take a look at the politics and societies of the Empire, the Republic, how one led to the other, and where that might leave us at the start of a new trilogy.
Are droids essentially chattel slaves? What about the moral implications of the Clone Army of the Republic. The Jedi and the Republic were architects of their own destruction, but did Jango Six Pack on Tatooine really even notice the change in power? What are the practical implications of competing religious sects influencing Galactic governance? Are Death Stars really good economic or even domestic policy?
All that and more in Episode 121 an all Star Wars episode of the Media Montage Podcast!
