Replying to @InvaderXan’s remarks about the Star Wars sequel trilogy being a missed opportunity to tell a story about stopping the resurgence of fascism.
Same here. When TFA first hit, I was disappointed that it was just rehashing a previous generation’s battles…but then as 2016 went on, I said, “Oh, I get it…”
Then TLJ told a nuanced story about having to work hard to preserve hope against overwhelming odds & with fractured alliances.
And then RoS was all about how none of this would’ve happened without space Hitler getting reincarnated, and we’ll all be fine once he’s gone.
