Your escapism sounds narrow and dogmatic. I did the opposite of defining escapism as spaceships and lightsabers. My entire post was that escapism and Star Wars are so much more than that. It can’t be boiled down to just one thing, or the absence of several things. Star Wars can be deeply symbolic, a teaching lesson, and provide escapism all at the same time. Like I said, the concepts aren’t mutually exclusive. If you think these themes are new to Star Wars with The Last Jedi, then I have news for you, my original comment about not understanding the other movies either applies.
