Musk posted a family photo of Anakin Skywalker, Padme, and the twins, suggesting that Star Wars stole this possible storyline from us. Joel Webbon called Star Wars liberal boomer slop in a viral podcast clip and suggested that &quot;Star Wars was gay&quot; and Darth Vader was the actual good guy. While the surface-level reaction was a reading of both incidents as another case of conservatives not understanding pop culture and art, there is actually much more to discuss. Ken Napzok and Joseph Scrimshaw discuss all this more on the 928th episode of ForceCenter.</p><p><br></p><p>From the minds of <a href=\"https://www.kennapzok.com/#/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ken Napzok</a> (comedian, host of <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@KenNapzok\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Blathering</a>), <a href=\"http://www.josephscrimshaw.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Joseph Scrimshaw</a> (comedian, writer, director of Dead Media), and <a href=\"https://jenilanda.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jennifer Landa</a> (actress, <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/jenniferlanda\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">YouTuber</a>, crafter, contributor on StarWars.com) comes the ForceCenter Podcast Feed.
