Star Wars is just fascist propaganda at this point, right? Like I'm not insane and the stormtrooper parades at Disney are real?
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
