I have thought about how in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the Soviet Union officials are the villains, but they are shown to be acting in reaction to existing United States weaponry and technology that is threatening their country and government. RedLetterMedia does good job of explaining this in their review of the movie.

However, their main goal is to use the titular skull for mind control against Earth's population.

    Critical support to comrade Anakin and his struggle against the cops of the jedi order and their bourgeois enablers in the senate.

      I actually really like the themes of the prequels. It's an example of a liberal democracy in decay that gives way to fascism, and about how liberals create tools later to be used by fascists (the Clones, for example.)

      One would assume that the Jedi's only real goal in the Old Republic was stopping a Sith from doing like, exactly what happened in the prequels. Funny how only one movie even bothered to ask like "uhhhh are the Jedi's even worth resurrecting? they kinda sucked lol"

        The Last Jedi had so many amazing ideas and never followed through on any of them. It sucked not because it broke the Star Wars formula but because it didn't break it enough.
