William Wyler's 'Ben-Hur' (1959) | Patreon #60

This is a free sample from our conversation on William Wyler's Ben-Hur (1959), the epic that helped shape George Lucas’s cinematic imagination and paved the way for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. We talk about Ben-Hur's blend of myth, spectacle, and spirituality, how its structure mirrors the Skywalker saga, and why Judah Ben-Hur walks so Anakin Skywalker can...get his legs cut off. For the full episode, including our complete deep dive on Ben-Hur and how it spiritually (and structurally) leads into The Phantom Menace, head to our Patreon in the link below.
