The Philosophy Behind the Force - The Desert of the Reel

from The Desert of the Reel: A Movie Podcast · host Desert of the Reel

This episode delves deeply into the philosophical roots of Star Wars' Force. Largely a filibuster by Jason, with insightful questions and comments from Ryan, we cover the Force as a whole using Taoism; explore the specific underpinnings of its Yin and Yang, the Light Side and the Dark Side; Han Solo's skepticism; and the union of both sides into a perfect ethical system.Beware all ye that enter here!
