An explanation of how TLJ continues the theme of TFA in being a Star Wars movie about Star Wars.
I agree with him, and think this is the strongest theme running through the trilogy so far. If the ST is ‘about’ anything, it’s about this more than anything else. But that’s also where I have problems with the ST. Even the prequels were about the corruption of the Republic and the fall of Anakin Skywalker. If the ST is an extended exercise in navel-gazing, then it’s like a serpent eating its own tail. Here’s hoping Episode 9 proves me wrong.
