About this episode
The episode discusses the representation of the Tusken Tribesmen in The Book of Boba Fett and their implications regarding Native American representation.
Happy Star Wars Podcast Day! We are back with another topical episode about the representation of the Tusken Tribesmen on Tatooine in The Book of Boba Fett. Ethan And Alex talk about how the Tuskens get humanized from their earlier interpretations, how they are obviously representative of Native Americans and how they are discarded when they no longer served the plot. Is this acceptable? Is being better but not great good enough? All these questions and more on this weeks episode. We are celebrating Star Wars Podcast Day 2022! In honor of the first Star Wars Podcast released on this day, Jedi Talks, we are joining a legion of other Star Wars podcasters to celebrate Podcasting about Star Wars.
