    The prequels on plot alone are great, but their execution was terrible. The sequels were generally executed better but their plot is awful.

    Star Wars has always been a leftist story because it is cast in a revolutionary mold. A key problem is that the rights of the franchise are in the hands of liberals who don't understand anything other than the status quo. Sure, some of their TV shows have been good but otherwise Disney has their hands on a property they fundamentally don't know how to write. They are going to continue to write the most lib-ass stories and wonder why they flop.

      I had a colleague who was a huge Star Wars fan and kept Star Wars toys around his workplace. He was completely taken by surprise when I told him how the rebels were based on Viet Minh. He had never heard about that ever. Or about the Viet Minh for that sake. The guy has an engineering degree.

      Liberal nerds will absolutely consume the slop for years and years without applying a single brain cell to any sort of analysis of the story. Instead they'll memorize boring pointless statistics about the plumbing on the death star or the insignia on the space Nazis' uniforms.
