About the contest:
“Essay of the Week”, has the purpose is to encourage the production of Theory/Analysis’ posts, stimulating deep insights and fomenting good and edifying discussions about SW topics, such as politics, science, philosophy, war, religions, anthropology, sociology, etcetera…topics that are told and retold in many different ways throughout the franchise and are worthy of a deeper study. Each user has the right to be heard out, sharing its aesthetic experience with the work and presenting its own hermeneutics on a specific topic, no matter how relevant or irrelevant it is, from an obscure and underrated character to a mega event covered in one of the movies.
Consequently, any further questions about the contest and its origin must be made in the behind-the-scenes’ thread linked above, which is singularly dedicated to this purpose. Inquiries, suggestions, critics, interactions with other users - all and any kind of off-topic parallel conversations must be taken exclusively to the BTS’s thread. It is strongly imperative to avoid at all costs, any reply that is not a nomination in the entry thread, which is sacredly reserved to the submitted essays. Any user who makes a random comment in the entry thread that is not the link to a submitted dissertation shall have their reply delated and their nomination disqualified (also deleted), not being able to nominate anything else until the next round. Below are the rules better exemplified.
The rules are simple:
