What is the narrative power of failure, and how is it used in The Last Jedi? What did we learn from Admiral Holdo and Poe about power, trusting leaders, and the role of gender in that? Author and Star Wars geek extraordinaire, Becky Allen, joins us again to discuss these questions and more. It turns out the three of us had a lot to say on this topic, so this is only part 1 of a 2-part episode! Stay tuned for part 2 to hit next week.
Becky Allen is the author of Bound by Blood and Sand and the sequel, Freed by Flame and Storm. She grew up outside Ithaca, New York, and graduated from Brandeis University with a major in American studies and a minor in journalism. She is the product manager for TheBody.com, an online HIV resource, and loves New York, brunch, and feminism.
