The pop culture phenomenon of Star Wars has been underutilised as a vehicle to teach about psychiatry. It is well known to students, registrars, and consultants alike. New Star Wars films are expected out in 2015, which will likely lead to further popularity. The purpose of this article is to illustrate psychopathology and psychiatric themes demonstrated by supporting characters, and ways they can be used to teach concepts in a hypothetical yet memorable way.
Using the minor characters as a springboard for teaching has the benefit of students not having preconceived notions about them. Characters can be used to approach teaching about ADHD, anxiety, kleptomania and paedophilia.
《星球大战》这一流行文化现象尚未被充分用作教授精神病学的工具。它为学生、住院医生和顾问医师所熟知。预计2015年将推出新的《星球大战》电影，这可能会使其更受欢迎。本文旨在阐述配角所展现的精神病理学和精神病学主题，以及如何以一种假设但令人难忘的方式利用这些主题来教授相关概念。
以这些小角色为教学的切入点，好处是学生对他们没有先入为主的观念。这些角色可用于教授注意力缺陷多动障碍、焦虑症、盗窃癖和恋童癖等内容。
