Colin Woolford gives a unique take on the subject of UFOs, extra-terrestrials and universal consciousness by blending these subjects with his equal fascination with the now iconic Star Wars franchise. Arguing that many of the characters, plots and concepts embodied in the mythology of that other “galaxy far, far away” neatly – and possibly deliberately – hold strong allegorical meaning for us here in our real galaxy, he shares some intriguing insights into the social, political and spiritual lessons the films have to offer. Indeed, the Star Wars universe has now become a whole new mythology for our times and although Colin focuses primarily on the movies rather than the ever-expanding television spin-offs, it becomes clear that, as allegories go, this is as useful a way as any other of holding up a mirror to our own society and the problems and possible evolutionary paths that it faces. Recorded at the Glastonbury Symposium, July 2023.
