We draw in a whole range of reference points, including the Fisher King legend, Sondheim’s ‘Into the Woods’ and Ian Fleming’s ‘Casino Royale’. We hope that you find the discussion interesting and thought-provoking, and would welcome any feedback. Many thanks to Christy Carew for the Scavenger's Hoard theme, and Nemling for our artwork.

Finally, we indulge in a brief spoiler discussion that ties into our discussion of Robert Johnson’s ‘She: Understanding Feminine Psychology’, discussing some intriguing storytelling possibilities that may be explored in ‘The Rise of Skywalker’.

In this episode, Rachael and Kirsty discuss the following news: - Daisy Ridley speaks on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast about working with Adam Driver, where Rey ends up, and Rey and Kylo's big fight in TROS - The announcement of a Lucasfilm Publishing Panel for Comic Con. Building on last week's spotlight on the sequel trilogy's exploration of masculinity, we consider the other side of the coin - how the feminine is characterised in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi (with some mild spec on The Rise of Skywalker, which we'll expand on in a further episode). Specifically, we focus on the myth of Cupid and Psyche, comparing it to the Rey and Kylo strand of the story and considering how the sequel trilogy both adheres to and subverts the structure of the myth. We then dive deep into the implications of the sequel trilogy's emphasis on the feminine element, as manifest in Kylo Ren and Rey. If you're interested in further reading on the topics we cover in this episode, we recommend the following books: - She: Understanding Feminine Psychology by Robert Johnson - The Feminine in Fairytales by Marie-Louise von Franz - Charlotte Bronte and the Mysteries of Love: Myth and Allegory in Jane Eyre by Elizabeth Imlay Many thanks to Christy Carew for the Scavenger's Hoard theme, and Nemling for our artwork.

Many thanks to Christy Carew for the Scavenger's Hoard theme, and Nemling for our artwork.
