In this week's episode, Jörg and I discuss the end of the Lucas era and the Rise of Disney and the JJ verse. As you will hear, we both have strong opinions about the direction of the Star Wars extended universe and how Disney opted for a more nostalgic, chaotic take on episodes 7-9, instead of a cohesive, well thought out story structure with a narrative through-line that utilized Lucas's character development mixed with mythological structure. Jörg also helped me realize how I was using nostalgia and the need to relive my life over again, in order to avoid accepting any new calls to adventure. This thought process deepened my depression, which also pushed me further to the dark side, instead of accepting who I am right now and finding my way back towards the Jedi Way!

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!

In the conclusion of Ep #2, Jörg and Marc continue discussing their own personal Hero's Journey, difficult decisions they needed to make, missed call's to adventure that led to dark depression and how your never too old to accept a new call to adventure, no matter how terrified you are. Also, Jörg takes both an insightful and impactful deeper dive into the neo-myth of the Hero's Journey and how Lucas used this road map to help transform the holy trinity of Luke, Leia and Han by the time we see them in Jedi. In addition, how we can use those same mythological tenants to help transform our own personal journey from dark to light.

Side Note: The birds you hear in the background are Jorg's and they are aptly named Boba and Jango. We tried to shut them up but they had plenty of opinions to offer on the subject.

Episode #2 The Return of the Myth (Hokey Religions and Ancient Weapons)

In part 1 of episode 2, Jörg and Marc return to discuss how the mythology of Star Wars pertains to everyday life and how identifying the myths can aid in constructing a road map to your own Hero’s Journey. We provide very personal examples of our emotional pain and suffering and how utilizing a deeper understanding of these myths helped us navigate out of the darkness of despair into the bright nurturing light of the binary suns. Plus you get details of some of our funnier stories while living in LA.
