Ahead of the second Republican Primary debate, Joshua Noel, Christian Ashley, and Adam Behr discuss the many political bodies in the Star Wars universe! As part of our Primarily Political series, we hope to discuss the political ideas presented in the Star Wars franchise in a lighthearted way and to show that we can discuss and disagree about these ideas without polarizing (like the Emperor wants us to do)!

.

Was the Empire a dictatorship? Was the Old Republic a Democracy? Why did the Sith work with the Trade Federation? How did the Trade Federation get a seat on the Senate, but the Jedi didn't? Who says "this is how liberty dies"? Who were the Separatists in the Star Wars prequel trilogy? How can the Resistance rebuild the New Republic in the void of the fallen Galactic Empire? Do the rich get richer from war? How do we know who all is on our side? Why are politics important for galactic peace and for our local churches? We discuss it all in this one! Join in the conversation with us on Discord now!
