About this listen
From Gilgamesh to Frodo and Odysseus to Harry Potter, there is nothing new under the sun when it comes to the narrative journey great heroes must take. Pop cinema revolutionary George Lucas knew this well when creating 1977's A New Hope. Join us as we take a shallow dip into the bottomless waters of exploring Star Wars to find out just how deeply ingrained the Hero’s Journey is into this story.
