Luke Skywalker Can't Read by Ryan Britt

Luke Skywalker Can’t Read by Ryan Britt

This was an eclectic and somewhat random series of essays on scifi topics. The best and most memorable was the title essay in which Britt puts forth the premise that the citizens of the Star Wars universe are all functionally illiterate. The surprising thing is that I was convinced he was right by the end and that part of the dark side of the force is ignorance. If you’re looking for some light reading on a handful (Star Wars, Star Trek, Tolkien, Back to the Future) of sf series, this is a pretty good one.
