Is the original trilogy political though? Not to go off-topic, but I am curious what other peoples views are on this...


Um, back on topic. Yeah, left and right, yin and yang, insert long random typical Maru post explaining how one idea kinda feeds into or lends itself to the other... I'll leave it to the viewer to fill in those blanks

In other news though... I feel like what Western cultural is going through is a a death & rebirth sort of thing where we mourn what was and what now remains... but before we can do that, both sides are first having to argue who gets burial rites... and then onto what is going to replace that "thing".

Not as in your face political as eps 1-3 because they had to go into the background of how the empire and the rebels came to be and the wars.But there’s still plenty of politics to be found in 4-6.The whole empire reminds me of the Nazis or the Romans in a way.The storm troopers are kind of like the SS.
After all when you think about it there’s politics in everything.From the dawn of mankind people had to sort out their roles and how societies would run themselves.
Not to mention Lukes internal struggles and tests to his family allegiances,
Lando Calrissian switching sides although that was in fear but then Switching back to the lefties where his true loyalties lie,Jabba The Hutt is like the ultimate capitalist.
I suppose there’s politics everywhere.
