The Hero's Journey LIVE from Star Wars Celebration 2023

05/22/23 • 55 min

Recorded live from the HoloNet News Stage at Star Wars Celebration London, Fern and Julia explore Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces and the impact of "The Hero's Journey" on Star Wars and mass-media storytelling in general.
(Psst...the audio isn't great in this one because Julia forgot she saved the audio we recorded with the nice microphone to her external hard drive...which is currently 2000 miles away from her. We'll upload the improved audio as soon as we can).
Points of Interest: The KCU (Korkie Cinematic Universe), Joseph Campbell's Whole Deal, Audience Participation, Archetypal Set Points, and Ending Early to Get to the High Republic Panel.
