Description: Luke Skywalker is on his way to being a full-fledged code grenade when he gains entry into the illustrious Jedi University. Yet, reality checks in quickly when he realizes coding classes are being pushed aside for pre-requisites including old school push ups and vine climbing. Will Luke decide a degree is worth it or go rogue and use the force of Innovation to forge his own path? Produced by Emergent Order in partnership with Artists 4 America. WHERE DO YOU STAND?
