Jedi & Sith

Matthew is moving, so no new episode this week, but enjoy this Superhero Ethics episode about the Jedi and the Sith

Are the Sith the mustache-twirling villains they initially appear to be, or is there a method to their madness? Where did the Jedi go wrong? Are emotions something to be held back or fully embraced in a space wizard, and how did the Jedi and Sith codes inform each other?

Jacob and Matthew jump into these questions with the help of a friend and fellow Star Wars Nerd Extraordinaire Jonah Kellman. Jonah cares far too much about Star Wars, particularly the extended universe. When not ranting, he can be found reading, playing video games or delving into worldbuilding. Find him on Facebook or around the internet as Muscratt.

Here are some books and other products we discussed on the show.

Darth Bane – The Story of the creation of the modern Sith and the Rule of Two.
Darth Plagius – The Sith who trained Emperor Palpatine
Republic Commandos – Stories of Clone soldiers
Kenobi – Adventures of Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi in the years after the fall of the Republic
The Clone Wars- Animated TV show that shows the Jedi’s corruption and the Republic’s fall. Much better than the movies or any of the prequels.

Let's talk Star Wars! Join the Ethical Panda Matthew Fox for an ongoing conversation about the wealth of Star Wars movies and TV shows, both the old and the new. We'll explore TV shows like The Mandalorian and The Clone Wars. We'll cover every movie, and we may even dive into the vast catalog of books, video games, and other media. Who needs a canon when you’ve got interesting stories?

During the strike we are focusing on books, fan content and other star wars stories not directly connected to struck media.
