No. Reagan made Star wars a bigger hit.

No. The Iran hostage situation was sufficient.

No. SDI was made known in ‘83.

Yes.

Star Wars posited actual Good and Evil, while the Left in America was working hard on Moral Equivalence.

Star Wars clarified Evil.

Reagan’s “Evil Empire” could therefore strike a solid chord.

Is this another one of those, ‘essays’ produced by locking a hundred monkeys in a room with bananas, coffee and keyboards?

What a stretch - no matter WHAT this person is trying to convey. Yeesh!

OBTW: "Star Wars" works.

George Lucas named one of the bad guys “Nute Gun Ray”.

No subtlety at all.

Just as long as Candidate Trump doesn’t pull a bone headed move and select Jeb for his running mate. Reagan’s biggest mistake was picking Jeb’s father.

The premise is pretty sound. Lucas is a big leftie, but he didn’t get that across clearly at all in the original trilogy, which resonated with exactly the opposite type of message to what a leftie would want the audience to take away.

He tried to be much more explicit with the prequel trilogy, even going so far as to name villain characters after Republican politicians and making the bad guys paraphrase George W. Bush, but it was so ham-handed and badly written that it didn’t have any effect either.
