CAF Warbird Tube - World War II and Star Wars
This Warbird Tube is a unique overlap of WWII and Sci-Fi when professor Allison Whitney explains how World War II’s influences can be seen throughout the "Star Wars" franchise. From special effects to sound design, cinematography to costume, and even in fans' interpretations of the series, Star Wars allows us to think about the aftermath and legacy of the War, even today. Allison Whitney, Ph.D., is an associate professor of film and media studies in the Department of English and the director of the Interdisciplinary Minor in Film and Media Studies at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.
