23: Hoth Takes #23: You’re Going Too Fast in Outer Space

Hoth Takes: A Star Wars Podcast

Star Wars meets politics in this episode as Eric and Haley discuss how the Republic government should be rebuilt after the sequel trilogy. How much control should it have over planetary affairs? Should it have an active military? How should law enforcement be handled? What should the government’s relationship with the Jedi be? And speaking of the Jedi, what should they look like in this new era? Haley wants to see some Force civics education, and Eric thinks the Republic needs a House of Representatives. Join us as we wrestle with big questions of galactic political science, some of them pretty familiar to us here on Earth.
