There's Santa Claus Shakespeare Mickey Mouse the Bible and then there's Star Wars. Nothing
quite compares to sitting down with a young child and hearing the sound of John Williams's
score as those beloved golden letters fill the screen. In this fun erudite and often moving
book Cass R. Sunstein explores the lessons of Star Wars as they relate to childhood fathers
the Dark Side rebellion and redemption. As it turns out Star Wars also has a lot to teach us
about constitutional law economics and political uprisings. In rich detail Sunstein tells
the story of the films' wildly unanticipated success and explores why some things succeed while
others fail. Ultimately Sunstein argues Star Wars is about freedom of choice and our
never-ending ability to make the right decision when the chips are down. Written with buoyant
prose and considerable heart The World According to Star Wars shines a bright new light on the
most beloved story of our time. Praise for The World According to Star Wars ?Star Wars is the

child and a human. It will change the way you think about your own journey and it might even

fanboy as he explores our fascination with Star Wars and what the series can teach us about the

deeply original.??Lee Child ?For anyone who loves the movies or loves to think about how the
