The Star Wars Symbol Cycle: Son of the Suns
The Star Wars story-cycle is one of the most popular of our modern myths, but also one of the most garbled. For the original trilogy, George Lucas consciously drew upon mythic and religious elements (ransacking every myth, fairy tale, scifi story and comic book he could get his hands on, especially Jack Kirby's New Gods), but not always coherently.

Star Wars Symbol Cycle: Gary Kurtz, the Force Behind the Force
At their best, movies once offered us gnosis of a kind that the ancients could only write their weird apocalypses about.

Year in Review's don't have quite the resonance they once did in the pre-Internet Age, since the ubiquity of the media ensures that we all get sick of whatever the big issue of the day is well before the news cycle is over.
