Questioned further about whether she “really believes” that Star Wars inspired the terrorists behind the attack, Atwood continued: “Remember the first one?
Margaret Atwood – the famed author of dystopian classic The Handmaid’s Tale – has claimed Star Wars helped inspire the terrorists behind the World Trade Centre bombings.
Atwood made the connection while discussing an operatic adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale, which started in Denmark in 2000.
The only difference is, in Star Wars, they get away.”
