Libertarian Star Wars Parody
Just in time for the holidays, The Star Wars Libertarian Special features Senate filibusters, border patrol stops, eminent domain, a guest appearance by Edward Snowden, and rarely seen footage from Chewbacca's galaxy-trotting documentary series about free-market economics. About 3 minutes. Written by Austin Bragg, Meredith Bragg, and Andrew Heaton.
Reason TV recently invited me to collaborate on “Libertarian Star Wars,” a parody which fuses libertarian tropes, the antics of Rand Paul, and (my personal favorite) a tie-in to the PBS special “Free to Choose” by Milton Friedman with the blockbuster film epics of George Lucas. Meredith and Austin Bragg wrote it with me and produced it themselves; they’re immensely talented guys with great senses of humor. Hopefully, given the positive response and how delightful I am to work with, it will herald more joint Reason/Heaton projects moving forward.
