This book offers a new way of seeing George Lucas' space opera--particularly the prequel trilogy, a series never given a fair chance because of constant comparisons to the iconic originals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the classic style of Joseph Campbell, the trilogy is viewed through the lens of myth and metaphor, revealing a body of work not only worthy of scholarly study but perhaps destined to find therein its home. A wide variety of philosophical and mythological themes are presented and expounded upon, drawing from a rich source of scholars, thinkers, writers, and poets from East and West alike. Heretical or not, the Star Wars prequels are a surprisingly rich source of insight into the saga--as well as the human drama--as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46502375948439,"sku":"9780786471812","price":1945.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786471812.webp?v=1769198342","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-star-wars-heresies-interpreting-the-themes-symbols-and-philosophies-of-episodes-i-ii-and-iii-9780786471812","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
