Panel Overview

With Cole Horton, Chris Reiff, Chris Trevas. It’s well known that myth inspired the story of Star Wars, but it was the Second World War that often influenced the look, tone, and sound of the Saga. From World War to Star Wars explores the interesting and unexpected ways that “a long time ago” influenced George Lucas’ “galaxy far, far away.” Join blogger & historian Cole Horton and Star Wars illustrators Chris Reiff & Chris Trevas as they give fans a rare look into the rise of two Empires, the Millennium Falcon’s World War II roots, and how relics from the war were used to build the galaxy we love.
