Potentially equally testing has been the return of Trump to the White House. Has there any imperative from Lucasfilm to adjust the depiction of the Empire in light of a presidency that could be seen to mirror it?
honestly want the show to be timeless. My characters are based more on Trotsky than Trump. I’m fascinated by revolutions. If I tried to sell a movie script about a young revolutionary dying for the cause, no-one’s going to back me. In fact, I’m trying to get a $40 million movie made right now; everybody loves the script, but they all say it’s really original. So, I’m f----d. But if you tell it as Star Wars, you have a place to play.”
Libs think they are rebels, and that the scene on Yavin IV is gilroy portraying the “betrayal” of the purity culture left that didnt want to vooooote for kamala.
That take is everywhere.
What’s actually funny about this is that those guys are stated to be “neo-republicans” elsewhere in the series, who are one of the more moderate/liberal Rebel factions.
