"The great lesson of Star Wars may be this: There is never just one hope. Hope in Star Wars,w hile ostensibly about grand events on a galactic scale, requires hope for the individual person. It's about believing a person can find a light, however deep it may be, in the dark side."

This short paragraph perfectly explains why I love this saga so much. I definitely recommend this book to any Star Wars fan as it explores the psychological depth of the story and characters we love so much.

This book is getting a permanant place on my shelf. I'm a psychology major so a lot of the concepts were pretty basic to me, but I imagine that to a newcomer, this would be absolutely fascinating. I would have Devoured this book before university.

As it was, I only had a few spots that I had minor quibbles with, tbh I don't even remember what they were and I think they were more related to concepts like heteronormativity, more than any of the actual constructs being discussed. I especially liked the chapter on the score and the ending of the book left me with a surprising feeling of hope, and maybe some sadness it was over. Nostalgia for something certainly.

Anyways I would definitely recommend it.
