Is Han Solo a humanist? The theology and ethics of Star Wars
From the Eastern-robed mysticism of The Force. To the jihad of Darth Vader and Kylo Ren. Join our expert panel to analyse the film's key moments and characters and investigate the belief system and ethics of Star Wars: everything from its reliance on prophecies, communing with spirits and warrior priests to telekinesis. Is Obi Wan Kenobi a benign spirit guide, or a radical preacher recruiting vulnerable teens to join a terrorist movement that blows up government Death Stars? And is Han Solo really a humanist?
With Anglican priest, Rev. Giles Fraser, Professor Francesca Stavrakopoulou and chief executive of the British Humanist Association and SciFi supremo Andrew Copson. Chaired by journalist and broadcaster Samira Ahmed.
