No, its decidedly anti-fascist, however it fills the role of anti-fascist roleplay. It allows the consumer to participate in a kind of anti-fascist display and then defuse any true anti-fascist sentiment they might be harboring.
The only Special Edition change I really liked was when they added other planets reacting with celebrations to the empire’s downfall. I always see that and imagine the global south reacting that way when it’s clear the American Empire or one of its lackeys like Israel have fallen
it's called interpassivity, I think zizek popularized the term lol and then Fisher used it too, it's a very useful categorisation
Chapter 2 of Capitalist Realism:
When you are in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney watching the Stormtroopers march past, you might also witness cast members performing acts of anti-fascist behavior. You might even be encouraged to join in. This gives your expensive trip an air of anti-fascist ideology while also signaling to you that the systems which bring you this display must also be anti-fascist as well. Stalin surly wouldn't have tolerated anti-socialist activity after all, and that's what sets our system apart from theirs. Capitalism invites you to be anti-capitalist, that's how you know it's a superior system.
