  1. … and then Disney bought the franchise after Lucas had gone full Alzheimer’s. Oh well the first few installments were fun.

  2. It’s a veiled celebration of the communist victory in indo-china.

    Lucas even said in 2005 that Star Wars “was really about the Vietnam War”.

    1. Lucas has been lying about Star Wars since 1978. The Ewoks vs. stormtroopers battle in RotJ was inspired by the asymmetric jungle warfare of the Vietnam war, yes, And that’s it.

      The first film is an obvious pastiche of five very well-known sources, plus the films Lucas happened to like as a naive film student, layered with a freshman’s understanding of Zen Buddhism and Jungian philosophy. It’s not deeper than that.
