In our second mini-episode, we’re revisiting previous conversations about Saw Gerrera, a Rebel leader whose actions are polarizing both in the Star Wars universe and outside of it. Has he been given a fair shake by those who have written his character, especially in light of real-world activist movements? Have we been fair to him on the pod? Find out in this special episode!
This episode was inspired by Beltway Banthas’ recent interview with Annalise Ophelian, the director of Looking for Leia, a documentary film that examines the popularity of Star Wars through the perspective of fangirls.
We also have an update on the DisruptJ20 defendants we mention in this episode.
This podcast is NOT spoiler-free, and in this episode, we discuss pretty much every piece of media Saw Gerrera has appeared in, including:
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars (episodes 5.2-5.5)
- Star Wars: Rebels (episodes 3.12 and 3.13, and episodes 4.3 and 4.4)
- Rogue One
- Rebel Rising by Beth Revis (see our episodes 1-3 for our discussion)
- STAR WARS: BATTLEFRONT II: INFERNO SQUAD by Christie Golden (see our episodes 20-23 for our discussion)
