SynopsisAt last-an analysis of the historical patterns that influenced the creation and storyline of the Star War s saga Star Wars took place long ago in a galaxy far, far away, but its epic stories are based on our own history.

Read how our own civilization's civil wars, slavery, international corporation states, and teenage queens were transformed into the epic Star Wars history and discover how Tatooine reflects the lawless frontiers of the past and Coruscant our own history of glittering and greedy capitals.
