Six Degrees of Star Wars

About Six Degrees of Star Wars

Even before it became the property of a monstrously big corporation that started putting it everywhere, Star Wars was everywhere. Join us on a journey as we take the hyperspace lanes out of a galaxy far, far away and into other movies, finding all the ways George Lucas' flagship franchise surrounds us, binds us, and penetrates us.

   Episode 83: Here There Be Peter Pan (1953)
