7:00pm Star Wars The Triumph of Nerd Culture Presented by Joseph Benson
Hosted by: Brookfield Public Library Hours: Tuesday, May 4, 7:00 pm -- Community Room Summary: Josef Benson offers an unauthorized and provocative expose of the most popular film franchise of all time. Fueled by George Lucas’s insecurities and a fervent fan-base who felt betrayed when Lucas defiled the original films, Benson presents the conflict between Lucas and Star Wars fans as comparable to the twisted relationship between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. Just as there is a riveting saga within the Star Wars universe that centers on the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker and the redemption of Darth Vader, so too has a saga unfolded in relation to George Lucas and Star Wars fandom. Questions? Call the Adult Reference Desk 262-782-4140 Opt. 1 Help us continue to offer programs at the library: All attendees will be required to wear masks during the entire program, no exceptions. Room capacity will be reduced and we may have to limit the number of attendees. Address: 1900 N. Calhoun Road Brookfield WI 53005 Phone: 262-782-4140
