The Skywalker Saga: Nine Films. Nine Theories

from The Minimum Commitment: Film Theory in Small Doses · host Donn Lawler Podcasts

This special intro episode sets the stage for a full arc dedicated to the Skywalker Saga—nine Star Wars films, each unpacked through a different film theory. From postcolonialism and Marxism to feminist theory and formalism, we reframe the galaxy far, far away as a mirror of our own. Whether you listen in order or pick your favorites, this arc invites you to see Star Wars not just as space opera—but as cultural text.
