    I really really struggle taking posts like this serious. It's a screenshot of a YouTube-preview that has a clickbaity title and shows me a very badly done ai-rendering of George Lucas.

    I kinda like George Lucas. He's not perfect. he created a few really great films that might be considered slightly "woke" compared to the times they were created in. He mostly keeps out of the spotlight these days and only from time to time tells people who don't want to listen that - "yes, the storm troopers are definitely named after the nazis" and "yes, of course the rebels are like the viet cong (pretty embarrassing for you that i had to spell it out for ya, isn't it?)".

    In my mind he keeps in his lane and hasn't become convinced that his success from yestertimes is making him a much needed voice in all kinds of modern political discussions that definitely needs to add their two cents from time to time to allthefuckingtime.
