Ep 18 - How Star Wars Conquered the Universe

In 1977 a little known movie, Star Wars, would go on to change the world of science fiction movies forever. But it didn't stop there. It changed how toys were licensed for movies; how everything was licensed for movies. It spawned fan clubs, costuming clubs, books, TV shows, cartoons, video games, etc. Star Wars literally seeped into every aspect of not just American pop culture but the culture of the entire world! This month we discuss, as the books title puts it simply, How Star Wars Conquered the Universe. May's book will be Spell or High Water; Magic 2.0 Book 2 by Scott Meyer.
