Overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

FULLY REVISED &
UPDATED, WITH A NEW EPILOGUE

"Delightful."--The Economist

There's
Santa Claus, Shakespeare, Mickey Mouse, the Bible, and then there's Star Wars.
Nothing quite compares to sitting down with a young child and hearing the sound
of John Williams's score as those beloved golden letters fill the screen. In
this fun, erudite, and often moving book, Cass R. Sunstein explores the lessons
of Star Wars as they relate to childhood, fathers, the Dark Side, rebellion,
and redemption. As it turns out, Star Wars also has a lot to teach us about
constitutional law, economics, and political uprisings.

In
rich detail, Sunstein tells the story of the films' wildly unanticipated
success and explores why some things succeed while others fail. Ultimately,
Sunstein argues, Star Wars is about freedom of choice and our never-ending
ability to make the right decision when the chips are down. Written with
buoyant prose and considerable heart, The
World According to Star Wars
shines a bright new light on the
most beloved story of our time.
