I really do think obedience and staying in your lane are among the strongest if not the strongest themes in these new movies. Without getting too much into politics, remember Star Wars began in the 1970s when films were very cynical and with good reason. It was an era of exposing corruption. Resisting oppression in the name of freedom is the American Way.

Now, Star Wars is a franchise of commercial films and not revolutionary. They are made by Disney and the corporate establishment. They are afraid of electoral upsets and democratic checks and balances. The Chinese government is pouring billions and billions of dollars into Hollywood every year and studios are increasingly crafting their movies to meet foreign censorship approval so they can make more money overseas.

When they cut the line “this is a rebellion, I rebel” from Rogue One I knew something had gone very wrong.

The Force Awakens and Rogue One were mediocre, not good not terrible movies in my opinion. But The Last Jedi was much much worse. I hated it. I think it starts with the bad acting, the ridiculous flat characterizations, the nonsense plots, the wrong tones and terrible attempts of comedy. But what I really hate the most are the messages these movies are trying to convey. They are evil and I want them be recognized that way.
