The Saga Journal is an on-line academic review dedicated to the in-depth study of the Star Wars saga as presented in George Lucas's six-film series. Our goal is to deliver one of the best collections of scholarly essays on the subject that the internet has to offer.
If you've ever wondered about Luke Skywalker as an archetypal hero, if you've ever pondered the use of symbolism throughout the Star Wars saga, if you've ever found yourself comparing the galactic political roles of Padmé and Leia, then you've come to the right place.
Here at the Saga Journal, we believe Star Wars is more than just an enjoyable space opera set in a galaxy far, far away. We recognize it as a modern myth, a cultural phenomenon all its own. We want to encourage the literary exploration of all aspects of the story as presented in the Prequel and Original Trilogy films.
If you would like to be a part of our ongoing effort to consider the Star Wars saga in a more academic light, please see our submission guidelines -- the Editorial Team would love to have you participate.
