Constitutional law and political philosophy in Star Wars A convergent legal and cinematographic imaginary?

The Star Wars films have attracted the attention of constitutionalists. While the type of regime they depict has already been analyzed, this is not necessarily the case for their representation of notions like democracy, state of emergency, and the right to resist. Although peripheral to constitutional law, these notions are nevertheless central to our understanding of it and stimulate reflection on the boundaries between law and philosophico-legal theory.
