Truthout is a vital news source and a living history of political struggle. If you think our work is valuable, support us with a donation of any size.
As public television stations around the country rebroadcast The Power of Myth — Bill Moyers’ groundbreaking conversations with mythologist Joseph Campbell — Moyers shares this compelling clip which draws parallels between Star Wars and mythological themes of heroism, spiritual adventure, and the actions of man. Released in 1988, The Power of Myth was one of the most popular TV series in the history of public television, and continues to inspire new audiences.
