Ep XXXII: How Myths Make Worlds, Part II: The War Comes Home

In Part Two of our Star Wars vs. Nolan’s The Odyssey series, Kristine and James explore what happens when survival changes you. From Odysseus returning home after war to Anakin, Obi-Wan, and the clones carrying the effects of conflict, we look at trauma, control, isolation, and the challenge of reintegrating into ordinary life.

At the center is one question: when the danger is over, how do you learn to live beyond the version of yourself built to survive?
