Ahch-To Radio #44: Richard Newby - Our Real Resistance, The Discourse Dyad, & Believing In Boyega

Today's new episode of the show welcomes back friend of the show Richard Newby of The Hollywood Reporter! We're taking a dive into the real politics of Star Wars, how it all relates to the real world, and how we can find inspiration & values in the work! Plus, we get into the concepts of online discourse, and we analyze the arc of Finn & the real world arc of John Boyega! It's an amazing, thoughtful conversation, and we're so thankful that Richard came back on the show to explore all of these themes! Fun fact: It's actually very fun and very important to analyze Star Wars through the real world lens. Be sure to check out Richard all over the internet, be it on his Twitter, @RICHARDLNEWBY, his articles over in THR's Heat Vision section, or in the recent SDCC virtual panel he moderated, The Living Dead: Celebrating the Legacy of George Romero! And lastly, find this show @AhchToRadio on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook! And find Alden @AD_Strider on Twitter and @a.d.strider on Instagram! Ahch-To Radio is a Star Wars podcast fueled by the love of that galaxy far, far away. Creator/Host Alden Diaz dives into news, reviews, theories, fan works, interviews, and more!
