What is ‘history’? Presented by Daughters of Ferrix and featuring historian Dr. Chris Kempshall (author, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire; The History and Politics of Star Wars: Death Stars and Democracy), this panel is a breakdown of what our favourite space fantasy can teach us about retellings of the past. From Andor’s Karis Nemik to The Rise of Skywalker’s Beaumont Kin, how is historical context used to make political arguments? How do academics tackle unreliable or contradictory sources, like Imperial propaganda? And how does a galaxy remember?
