A Catholic Take on Star Wars

Join a Biblical scholar and a moral theologian as they discuss Star Wars! Dr. Michael Barber and Dr. Scott Hefelfinger, professors at the Augustine Institute Graduate School, dive into the famous series of Star Wars created by George Lucas. These two Star Wars enthusiasts look into the various themes within the series, the transcendentals that drive much of the scripts, and touch on the character development present in the movies. They address the recent additions to the corpus of Star Wars—the Mandalorian and the Book of Boba Fett—and why they have captured audiences across the country since release.
