We explore how the film reflects our lived experiences around tradition, cultural gatekeeping, isolationism, generational shame, and what happens when progress challenges the past. From T’Chaka’s silence towards Killmonger’s rage, from Okoye’s loyalty to M’Baku’s pride—we unpack how Black Panther speaks to deeper truths in African and diaspora communities. Why do some elders speak at us, not with us? Why is innovation often shunned in favor of outdated norms? And how does culture both empower and divide?

While I am not a huge Star Wars fan, I greatly enjoyed the game and the personal story it told of Cal Kestis, the main character of the game, and him living to through Order 66. More so, Cal facing his inner demons and pains of carrying the burden of watching his master and mentor figure die in front of him. We often blame ourselves for things out of our control, especially when we are young and impressionable, Cal's story is very much that. We also go into how these very same traumas are also seen in the story of Darth Vader.
