I had the great pleasure of participating in the Psychology of Star Wars vs. Star Trek debate panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. On my team, defending the ‘Wars, was Dr. Drea Letamendi, who we’ve interviewed on Full of Sith in the past. Her website deconstructs the psychology of superheroes and she’s actually Barbara Gordon’s psychologist in Batgirl.
On the opposing side was Dr. Ali Mattu and John Champion (of the Mission Log Podcast.)
The moderator, Brian Ward, from Shout Factory, maintained a generally disciplined debate format structure and we went at it and had a lot of fun.
For those interested in how it shook out, we’ve uploaded the full debate into the Full of Sith podcast feed (which you can get here).
The panel was also filmed in its entirety, so you can watch it here:
