In this chapter of Rule the Galaxy, Joe, Brent and Nick welcome our special guest, Stephen Kent. Stephen is the host of the Beltway Banthas podcast @beltwaybanthas and the Author of a great new book, How the Force Can Fix the World His podcast started in 2016 after being tired of the political world we were living in at the time. Marco Rubio, the Padawan, bested the Master, Jeb Bush Stephen found that Star Wars was a buffer that allowed people on both sides of the aisle to come together over a single topic. He has interviewed many political figures and pundits including Glenn Beck and Van Jones Stephen loved the Jedi Apprentice books with Xanatos and Qui-Gon Jinn is his favorite character. Return of the Jedi is his favorite movie, and he would definitely go with Lule's saber from ROTJ. We cover so many great topics about our world and the Star Wars Universe. I think after some of Stephen's points our podcast is leaning more and more toward becoming a Count Dooku Fan Club. thanks for the artwork and review from @rebecca_deboer, now known as @cellogirl_music, Thanks for the great questions from @thedavemjones and @ddoc42 @stephen_kent89 on Twitter @rulethegalaxysw on Twitter RuletheGalaxySW@gmail.com Rule the Galaxy on Facebook and YouTube
