TFN reader George Backen wrote in to make sure Star Wars-loving college students in the Colorado area were aware of his new Star Wars-themed workshop for this summer...

"I teach philosophy at Adams State College in Alamosa, CO and I'm offering a 1 credit workshop this summer on Star Wars. Here's the course description:

Star Wars and Philosophy

Moral and metaphysical questions about the Star Wars universe: Is it morally permissible to fight a war with clones? Can droids be conscious or have moral status? Is the Force natural/supernatural, personal/impersonal? What is meant by ?balance to the Force?? Does Anakin or Luke have free will or are their destinies predetermined?"

Thanks to George for the heads up and we wish him and his students well with their summer studies.
