That and how Lucas tried making anti imperialist art and when it was ravenously devoured by the status quo he just hammed it the fuck up and merchandised it to shit. Gotta respect the king of grift
Yeah, Lucas loves to change his mind every few years and say off the wall WTF shit about what Star Wars was "originally intended to be". He'll never own to the fact the prequels were terrible and he's 100% responsible for all the shitty writing in those movies.
I think the rebels were meant to be VietCong making the empire the americans. This of course was retconned in the sequels making the empire explicitly nazis
But Vietnamese fighting Americans isn't really. Before Star Wars, he made THX 1138 which was also very anti capitalist. There's a reason he's always complaining about American censors.
Same here. Ford has wanted out of Star Wars since after ESB. The original scripts to ROTJ were going to give him his wish with Han dying a hero sacrificing himself. Lucas changed that (along with taking the Wookies out and going with Ewoks) cause selling toys was more important.
I love Star Wars, but my favorite thing about it will always be how much Harrison Ford fuckin' hates Star Wars

Americans fighting space nazis is a sublimated narrative, in reality outside of those Hollywood delusions, America used WMDs

But does he hate it as much as Alec Guinness did?
