Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize winning author, recently went on Late Night with Seth Meyers and spoke about his experience as a creative writing teacher at MIT.
Meyers asked if it was true that Díaz requires his students to watch Star Wars for class, and the author brilliantly explained why he does:
He's also surprised how few college students have actually seen any of the Star Wars films.
Díaz also talked about the importance of teaching diverse authors and stories to students.
