RE: What is the Star Wars story really about?
I can express my humble opinion. There were 9 films. The first were a classic fairy tale.The boy becomes a squire. Then saves the princess from the forces of evil. Then the boy becomes a knight. The scenery of the tale takes place in space. The plot of the tale does not change due to the scenery of the cosmos.
There was an attempt to make the film serious. Pretty disastrous.There was an attempt to make the film serious. Pretty disastrous.
The empire was shown to be the absolute good that defeats the evil of the republic. What is the good of an empire? Corruption wins. Destroys crime. Improves the lives of ordinary citizens. Republic favors. as a center of corruption, crime, space pirates and slavery.
Special effects, army of fans. Result of successful commercial gatherings. People could not give an analysis of the situation. They did not understand that they were on the side of absolute evil.
Then the complete killing of the series. transfer of rights to a Disney company. We are not talking about false tolerance. It's about killing the laws of the genre. Fierce sexism appears. Where the main character succeeds not in her development, training. talent or intelligence oh no! She seeks everything against the laws of the world only on the basis that she is a woman.
In general, I am not opposed to strong, smart and talented women. I speak out against the idiots that show women in Disney movies. The incompetent command of the fleet. Mediocre lesions. And more mediocre victories when the world adjusts to the heroines. This is not even Mary Sue, every woman in this film is something more.
Result? A bunch of renegades who don't give a damn about the universe. Fight for slavery. corruption and banditry. Do I need to empathize with them? Maybe interesting characters? Is there an arc of character? Character development? He is not there. They do not perform actions. If something is required. then the world adjusts to the heroine. The main character can lie like a stone, but she will win anyway.
Although, in a general sense, all the "good" female heroines lie like a stone. Victories happen on their own. Because the world adjusts to them. This is sexism. Where shown, a woman is given everything by birthright. Not because she is smart, talented, persistent in achieving the goal. I have not seen a more vile picture.
