Description: Alex and Connor explore the intersection of science fiction and the western genre in Star Wars, where tropes intermingle and overlap to produce a piece of the unique aesthetic key to the identity of Star Wars. From shootouts in cantinas, gunslinger duels at high noon, heists, train robberies, and the consuming emptiness of revenge, the hosts survey the most prominent ways western storytelling beats appear in a galaxy far, far away.
This episode contains spoilers for: Episode IV, Episode V, Solo: A Star Wars Story, The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars, Rebels, and The Book of Boba Fett.
