Story and Star Wars
Point North MediaThis fall, story expert Alastair Stephens will look at each of the six core Star Wars movies in release order, and analyse what works and why. We’re going to talk about heroic motivations, serial structure, the power of the five-man band, the interaction of intent and execution, mythic archetypes, the urge to explain, and stories which grow in the telling — and perhaps, we’ll understand a little b... more

- Awesome
The best dissertation that I have ever heard on SW. It’s clear the host is a fan, but he reaches past his fandom to present a clinical analysis of all the good and bad of our favorite galaxy. These podcasts made me look at the movies differently.

Interesting commentary but apparently this guy is a monstrous DB. Don’t look for him to finish the sequel trilogy, I think he is laying low to avoid the consequences of a life spent poorly.
His ex claims he plagiarized his ideas, but who cares. It’s Star Wars, not a dissertation on the plays of Christopher Marlowe. He gives a pretty good analysis of the films.

Canada5 years ago - This was the best Star Wars Podcast
I don’t remember how many times I brought this podcast up during Star Wars discussions, but if you love a literary approach of breaking down the films into 3 acts and discussing each part for tempo and plot, this is your podcast. The host is an English Professor and Star Wars fanboy — like almost to a fault — which is great because when he talks about the films, he is honest and objectively reviewing both the good and bad. You know he wants to just love ever bit of it, but hes stepping away from... more

I was charmed and taken in by his persona, but evidently the man behind “Alastair Stephens” is a sociopath and abusive husband. His ex, Lani Diane Rich, a successful author, lays it all out in a blog post which you can search for and read. I believe her. Jesus, what a creep.
