In this final episode, Jörg and I pivot away from the darkness and focus on the future of Star Wars and it's every expanding universe. We discuss where the brand may go from here and whether the IP can survive long term with Disney's focus on continued expansion. Are there any new myths to tell or are they just regurgitating more nostalgia without substance. Jörg goes deeper into the relevant themes of Star Wars, how we use them, while exploring if Disney can still tell a compelling original story.
We also explore what could have happened if Lucas kept the franchise, has Star Wars peaked, is Gen Z more into Marvel, how Lucas will be remembered, has pop-culture/nostalgia replaced mythology, how I became Sam to Jörg's Frodo all these years, and where the podcast may go from here.
That and so much more so please join us as we continue our journey from a NOT so long time ago, in a galaxy much closer than you realize.
May the Force be with YOU!
