California attorney Joshua Gilliland from The Legal Geeks explores the legal system from a galaxy far, far, away. Star Wars teaches valuable legal lessons on Tattooine: 1) the intricacies of property ownership of R2D2 and CP3O; 2) Employee & Independent Contractor Safety Issues in Jabba’s Palace; and 3) Han's Legal Justification to Shoot First.
“Tattooine Law” explores whether the Jawas had a valid ownership interest in finding CP-3O and R2D2, which determines whether the Skywalkers had a valid sale of the Droids. We will go deep into Jabba’s Palace and understand Jabba’s duty to keep a safe work environment for his employees. Finally, we will explore the issue that is the epicenter of fanboy rage: Han’s legal justified to shoot Greedo first.
