- sandspar 1y agoIt's not just a Disney TV show about space lasers, it's an IMPORTANT Disney TV show about space lasers.

- secabeen 1y agoGiven that _Star Wars_ was released in 1977, two years after the end of the Vietnam War, it has always been a response to the political environment.
- xigency 1y agoRight? Within 30 minutes of the first film you have a military tribunal discussing the dissolution of the senate. People who are triggered by politics in Star Wars have very low media literacy. (Sorry.)
- frollogaston 1y agoI never found it very politically motivated, and this TV series doesn't sound like it either.
- jxjnskkzxxhx 1y agoYou never found the theme of "fighting the empire" politically motivated. Hm ok.

- WorldMaker 1y agoIt doesn't. Its scripts were mostly written ~5 years ago. It's a show based on and returning to the roots of the darker sides of WW2 politics that have been in the roots of Star Wars since its origins in the 1970s. If you think these politics are new to the franchise, you haven't been paying attention. The more depressing and more accurate question is why are the darkest parts of WW2 politics suddenly "contemporary" again?

- sandspar 1y agoJust what Disney needs, more shoehorned politics.

- threecheese 1y agoDespite some of us feeling under-represented, it appears that people like it - probably those that are now represented. “Shoehorned”, or just not making them for you anymore?
