This week, Julia teaches Fern about Faustian bargains and deals with the devil! We discuss the plot and themes of Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, the Dark Side and Sith apprenticeship, and Sidious's role as Star Wars Satan. Do Sidious's apprentices (Maul, Dooku, and Vader) sell their souls when they turn to the Dark Side? How do these characters respond when they're offered the possibility of redemption? And is it possible to study the Dark Side without being corrupted by it?
On the Syllabus:

  • Doctor Faustus (1604) by Christopher Marlowe
  • Son of Dathomir Issues 1-4, Juan Frigeri (Illustrator), Jeremy Barlow (author)
  • Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule
  • Into the Dark by Claudia Gray
  • Dooku: Jedi Lost by Cavan Scott
  • The Clone Wars series (2008-2012, 2020)
