9 I discuss how this propaganda motivated several remaining Jedi in the Dark Times comics series in Dark Times: The End of the Republic and the Beginning of Chinese Philosophy, in Jason T.

13 Sluga, “Ludwig Wittgenstein,” 11.

14 In this respect, Wittgenstein shares much with the tradition of “logical positivism,” identified with the members of the Vienna Circle. See Karl Sigmund, Exact Thinking in Demented Times: The Vienna Circle and the Epic Quest for the Foundations of Science (New York: Basic Books, 2017).

16 It's not just me. In 2005, Han placed #14 in the American Film Institute's list of greatest film heroes: https://www.afi.com/afis‐100‐years‐100‐heroes‐villians (accessed April 4, 2022). Indiana Jones was #2, so we'll call it a double‐win for Harrison Ford fans.
