Sci-Fi's Obsession With Empire Explained by An Expert

Sci-Fi's Obsession With Empire Explained by An Expert

By: Ben Gibbons

What ties The Mandalorian and Grogu, Dune, Blade Runner and Avatar together? The shared theme of colonial empire. If you've ever wanted a lecture directly from a sci fi expert this is the video essay for you. Georgia Tech professor Lisa Yaszek joins The Expert Take to explain why science fiction keeps returning to empire, control, rebellion and identity. From Blade Runner's iconic “Tears in Rain” speech to The Mandalorian's redefinition of heroism, Yaszek explores how sci-fi reflects real-world fears about war, colonialism and corporate power. She dives into Avatar's obsession with embodied freedom and why Dune remains one of the genre's most powerful stories about extraction and empire. If you've ever wondered why Star Wars, Blade Runner and Dune still feel so relevant, this breakdown connects the dots.
