Star Wars Galactic History 101: The Basics for New Fans

Come join us in a galaxy far, far away...In this multi-day 5 week class, learners will dive into the world of Star Wars, learning about and discussing the basics of Star Wars, like the characters, vehicles, ideas, planets, episodes etc. Some of the questions that will be answered and some things they will learn about are: What is Star Wars? Who created Star Wars? Why is Star Wars so popular? Who lives in the galaxy? Who are the good and bad guys? What are the light and dark sides? Who are the Jedi and the Sith? How does everyone get around? What exactly is the force? And so much more!
This class will serve as a helpful guide for students in fully understanding the Star Wars universe and saga. Students will also learn how to carry on social conversations and respectful discussions with their peers. I will teach using google slideshows and video clips to guide the weekly discussions.
Each week we will focus on different basic facts and ideas. It may benefit learners to watch some Star Wars movie episodes, series episodes, or read books related to Star Wars before coming to class each week, but it is not necessary.
