May Princess Leia Be With You: Part 1

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

A not so long time ago, in a galaxy not far, far away, two podcasters came together to disucss the feminism of the original badass princess icon, Leia Organa from the Star Wars universe. Because Anney has been dreaming of this day for so long, it's a two-parter. In this one, we focus on our own experiences with Star Wars, the cultural impact of the original series, and the basics of Leia's character in A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. Listen, or listen. There is no listen not. It's not a trap!
