'twas utter crap. 2 hours of comparing Star Wars to Joseph Campbell's hero's journey. It was like a VH1 clip show with people just intellectually masturbating the whole time while pretty much not saying anything new.
Worst excuse for a History Channel special ever. Who wants to hear "scholars" compare Star Wars to old myths for 2 hours?
I love Star Wars, and I love myths, but the parallels between them are rather obvious and don't need pointed out.
