Ever wondered if the Force could help with… algebra? (Spoiler Alert: It probably cant!) Join us this week as we chat with Craig Dickinson of Reading Between the Reels.
Craig shares hilarious and insightful stories of how Star Wars wormed its way into his heart as a kid – remember being four and utterly bewildered by Vader's big reveal? – and how he now uses it to conquer the classroom.
Forget boring textbooks! Craig, a board-certified teacher, treats Star Wars like a literary masterpiece, diving deep into narrative structure and cinematography. Think novel study, but with lightsabers!
He reveals how active viewing and dissecting character motivations turn even the most reluctant students into Jedi Masters of analysis.
But the saga doesn't end in the classroom. Craig also opens up about introducing Star Wars to his own kids – a mission that started with sequel trilogy excitement but has since… well, let’s just say the Force isn't always strong with the younger generation. Can he reignite their passion with the originals?
Plus, they explore the incredible Star Wars community, the power of shared fandom, and Craig's top tips for sharing your love of a galaxy far, far away with your kids without turning into a Sith Lord of forced enthusiasm.
Get ready for laughs, insights, and maybe even a little homework inspiration! For more from Craig, check out Reading Between the Reels and don't forget to follow Tatooine Sons for all your Star Wars Dad insights!
