Star Wars: An Allegory for Graduate School |
The Star Wars movies are great. I wouldn't spend a week sleeping on-line for tickets, but they
tell a really kewl story (though the first 2 did suck pretty hard I guess).
Recently, I realized that as good as George Lucas is at creating a really compelling story, and
as good as he is at directing and producing, and as good as he is at running a badass
special effects outfit, he's much better at using symbolism. Yeah, as I was toiling
away in my own grad school hell, I realized THAT's what George was writing about!
All of those characters, and battles, etc. They all describe the hell that is... Graduate School!
OK, OK, OK, I'm sure you're all getting ready to close the browser, but I've detailed
The Star Wars Allegory and the analysis is sound!
Check it out, and as usual, let me know what you think...
