The Politics of Star Wars

As I mentioned to some of you, my political science group blog, The Mischiefs of Faction, got picked up by Vox.com last month. A few of us decided to start working on a few posts about the politics of "Star Wars." I thought you might enjoy.

Here's my first post on the lack of parties in the Galactic Senate.
Here's my colleague Jon Ladd's post on the inherent dangers of the Jedi.

There will be more in the lead up to the release of Episode VII, I promise.
