    This is absolutely you trying to head canon reality away. There is no way you will ever convince me George Lucas was that socially conscientious/nuanced in his storytelling. It’s not his style at all and he would’ve said something indicating this. He wasn’t thinking about the anti-vaccine movement and the ability to use media to gaslight the public in the 1970s/80s and 90’s/early 2000’s.

      I think you might have misread my comment. I don’t think George Lucas was trying to make a comment on any of the above.
