26. Looking at the Human Elements of ‘The Empire Strikes Back’: Fear & Anger, Patience, Leia’s Femininity, Finding Our 'Dagobah', and Yoda as a Therapist?
On this episode, Rick and Kailah dive into the human behavior elements of the legendary 1980 science fiction blockbuster, The Empire Strikes Back. What are the emotions and behaviors that determine the pathway someone takes to the light side or the dark side of the force? How important is it that we navigate our own personal 'Degobah' wilderness journey or make time to fly away to meet with a guide like Yoda? And we talk about the femininity of Leia as both a strong, independent warrior and also a beautiful, trusting princess.
Hosted by Rick Guttersohn and Kailah Ayres-Tuttle
