I think what it comes down to is that movies come from a certain time and place and when a person is in a certain time and place. Star Wars would not be Star Wars if it didn’t involve George Lucas and the people around him during the 1970s. If he had started work on it 5 years earlier or 5 years later we would have gotten a different film.

I have a theory (just a theory), that is probably going to generate some controversy…Star Wars is a conservative film. It is very much a modern Western. George Lucas was not some pot smoking hippie. Coming at the source material from a liberal progressive angle has created the bizarre content we see under Disney. Even when it is made well…it just seems off.

You cannot make a Star Wars film in 2022 unless you are John Milius. It might have the name…but it is an empty shell inside. That is a quote from a Steven Seagal movie.
