We’re back with Part 2 (of 2) of our interview with Cass Sunstein, author of the forthcoming The World According to Star Wars. It’s another bonus-length episode, and incidentally, we’d like to know – do you like having some of these longer-length interview pieces mixed in with the regular shorter episodes? If so, share your thoughts in the comments!
Meanwhile, we’re picking right back up where we left off from yesterday’s episode, talking about Anakin and his very complicated relationships with father and mother figures in his life. We’ll also talk about the mass media, conservative rebellions, and Cass’ answer to a question we like to ask in interviews: If there’s one thing you could change in any of the Star Wars movies (with the exception of rolling back Special Edition changes, because that’s too easy an answer for some), what would it be?
Cass’ answer is an unexpected one – there’s one character in the movies that he wishes would have been portrayed by a different actor. And he names names. Listen in to find out who Cass would’ve replaced with whom, had he his druthers. (Suddenly Shakespearean.)
