There's no better way to end our season on the New Wave then talking about the work that brought it crashing down: Star Wars. Wait wait wait! We promise we aren't talking about the pros and cons of any particular trilogy. There are a hundred other videos you can watch for that. Instead, we want to talk about something a little unusual. We want to talk about how Star Wars paved the way for the cyberpunk generation.
