Star Wars TV With Brandon Lee

Anjali spoke with friend and community organizer Brandon Lee, Chicago's pre-eminent scholar on all things Star Wars (in Anjali's opinion), about the plethora of streaming tv shows from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Anjali also shares the reflections of political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal, whose 1977 essay "Star Wars and the American Imagination" still resonates in this current moment of empire versus rebels.
