Episode LVII - Martez Sisters and the Jedi
Listen now
Description
This week on FCSA! I'm joined by Dillon from DilDev's Diner on Eleven-ThirtyEight for a great discussion on the Martez Sisters arc from Clone Wars Season 7 and its "ground level" or "underground level" view of the Jedi. Dillon's recent article describes some strong resonances between Jedi indifference to the Martez sisters' suffering and what we see in prominent forms of American Christianity today. We also go into some ways that Dillon's aro/ace orientation and experiences give her insight on Jedi community and celibacy. Follow Dillon on Twitter, read her articles on Eleven-ThirtyEight, and her personal blog, Dillon Development. Here're the other links and books she mentioned: Stich's Media Mix on white prioritization Reconstructing the Gospel by Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove The Third Reconstruction by William J. Barber and Wilson-Hartgrove The contemporary classic, Searching for Sunday by Rachel Held-Evans Follow me on Twitter and Instagram. Thanks for listening, and MTFBWY
