This week on the Escape Pod, we're joined by special guest Dr. Steve Ellerhoff to explore the deep psychological and mythological roots of Star Wars, as detailed in his new book, "Jung and Star Wars". We explore how Carl Jung's concepts of archetypes, the unconscious, and synchronicity are woven into the very fabric of the saga—from the nature of the Force and Anakin's tragic nightmares to the hidden symbolism in Luke's Jedi robes and the powerful Dyad between Rey and Kylo. Prepare for another happy landing into the deepest lore of the galaxy!Find Steve!https://www.sgellerhoff.com/ https://x.com/sgellerhoff?lang=en https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:o36jrehl64zu5ykusitxrniy https://www.instagram.com/sgellerhoff/ EMAIL US YOUR REQUESTS AND QUESTIONS!———————————————————————— Have you checked out our flashcast called Star Wars Launch Pad?https://www.youtube.com/@SWLaunchPad https://open.spotify.com/show/1v0naAAJZMW0nig3OkFToJ?si=8014aef1647f4da5Found on any platform in the galaxy! ————————————————————————Star Wars Escape Pod 🖥️ Website: https://starwarspodcast.ca🐦 X: https://twitter.com/SWEscapePodcast🦋 B.Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/swescapepodcast.bsky.social📲 Swell: https://www.swellcast.com/swescapepodcast📧 Email us or send a voice message to: swescapepodcast@gmail.com🗃️ Podcast Archives: https://shorturl.at/cktPQ ————————————————————————Orbitkeyhttps://www.orbitkey.com
