    Yes, obviously.

    That’s because they’re among the realtively few movies/series in the Star Wars franchise that have actually been good.

        I can see how it could be considered a Marxist struggle, but really it’s just the human struggle. They are ordinary people versus a Galaxy wide fascist regime. They trade for what they need and rebel against an unjust authority. An authority whose only goal is control and amassing power.

        Owning the means would help, but you’d still be using money for trade and there would still be those who want to control others. Now you’re back to square one. You’d need to rewrite how people think and behave for society to ever progress in either forms of government.

        Or maybe we should just all agree on a few truths and then encourage some assholes to do their jobs

      I think it’s because they were the only ones that weren’t carried by the brand. Other than the end of Rogue One, which served to tie the story back into Episode IV, there aren’t any Jedi, Sith, lightsabers, or Skywalkers. They’re not trying to be Star Wars: The Money Printer, if that makes sense.

        Even the prequel trilogy isnt trying to print money, outside of the ships and stuff (mostly attack of the clones). 90% of those movies is really just characters talking or doing an action scene. Pretty sure they would work better as a stage play honestly.
