Summary
Paul Bateman is back for another round of Star Wars Influences. For this episode, we attack some of the most-requested subject matter for Influences - The impact of Joseph Campbell's on the plot of Star Wars. Join Jimmy Mac as he picks Paul's mind on the effect of Joseph Campbell on the saga and the oft-mentioned "Hero's Journey". Paul breaks down the philosophies and teachings of Campbell in a straight-forward and conversational style as he applies the aspects of "The Hero's Journey" to the story of Star Wars: A New Hope - From beginning to end. Plus, we talk about images revealed from Star Wars Episode VII including the now-famous Bad Robot "Hunka Junk" Millennium Falcon video and more!
