On a simpler level, Star Wars is all about the relationship between the human and the nonhuman. So that’s how this book is structured. It’s divided into five conceptual themes: space, space travel, tech, bio-tech, and aliens. Each of these themes is a way of exploring the relationship between the human and the nonhuman. Taking a closer look at these themes will illuminate the genius of Star Wars, as if a vibrant lightsaber were being held to it. It will show the way in which the franchise functions.
