The “Star Wars” series – which is not only the financially most successful film project of all time, but also philosophically interesting. Was behind a “very thoughtful, very complete draft of a mythical universe,” says our editor Catherine Newmark.

“On the one hand there is a very fundamental conflict between good and evil, and this is not only as it were the good guys and the bad guys. But there’s just always this question of how one goes in, so Anakin Skywalker, who becomes Darth Vader, and then yet redeemed again at the end of his life, at least in the second trilogy. ”

“How do we get today on spiritual level?”
