With a number of loonie lefties trying desperately to find ANY straw to grasp telling them that Trump and his voters are out of touch, the latest is the notion that the new "Star Wars" film "Rogue One" somehow is a parable about the (good) Rebels fighting the evil Trump empire.
Nothing could be sillier. Anyone watching the film can see instantly, Trump IS "Rogue One" and the Force put together.
The "Rogue One" title comes from the mission to steal the Death Star plans. When asked what their call sign is as they leave Yavin, the nervous pilot says, "er, Rogue . . . One." But the mission itself, and the makeup of the crew, totally reflect Trump and his amazing victory.
Most leftists would look at the heroine, Jyn Urso (Felicity Jones) and Cassian Andor---the assassin hired to take out her father---as the focus. But really this was about the Rogue One mission itself, for the group defies the Rebel Alliance leaders Mon Mothma and Admiral Acbar to "go rogue" (a reference to Sarah Palin?).
What is more fitting for Donald Trump, who went against the advice and so-called wise leadership of the stultified Republican Party to "go rogue" and create his own American national movement? In that, Trump WAS the Mission, and along with it, the (moving) Force. Yes, he had help from a ragtag group of "Deplorables": Andor (Steve Bannon, the assassin who appreciates the necessity to break with tradition) and Urso (Kellyanne Conway) who leads the team. But everyone knows it is the Force "leading" the team, and that while the Force must survive, and the mission be complete, the individual soldiers were expendable. K-250 is Cruz, who dies in a suicidal speech (er, fight), although being a robot, I suppose you could make a case for Rubio.
But wait: It gets better.
The white clad toady Orson Krennic (i.e., Cankles in her white-suit convention speech) is really just the front man for the evil, aged Emperor (George Soros) who dispatches Darth Vader to prevent the data theft (i.e., the leak of the DNC). Darth is Obama, although the real-life Darth never, ever converts back to the good side.
Then there is Grand Moff Tarkin, who seemingly has control of the campaign, er, the war. Tarkin is Podesta, whose arrogance and stupidity allowed the system to be hacked right under his nose. The Empire has it all---control of the propaganda (the media), the cloned robotic soldiers (Occupy Wall Street and BLM), and the ultimate weapon (the Access Holllywood tape). Yet like the lightsabers used by the Jedi, Rogue One Trump, with the Force, redirects every attack back at the Evil Empire.
Racing to the end, we know that the Rogue One Mission is successful. People gravitated to the Force and overcame evil, though not without cost.
And the universe was safe, and happy, again.
I like blue. It’s my favorite color. But consider: the Stars and Stripes are the Red, White, and Blue.
A flag that was based on the Sons of Liberty flag of red and white stripes. You will notice that the red stripes out number the white.. Red is the top stripe.
The commies came to be over a hundred years after our founding. Why should WE have to change our colors because the commies stole one of the colors for their own ends. They can change.
I used to think that as well, but then George Lucas, Walter Murch, and Chris Taylor all had to open their big fat mouths and reveal that, no, we were deluded.
On the contrary, our wills mean everything, which is why right now nothing but hero dims are doing well.
Maybe in terms of the election cycle, sure, and I agree our wills definitely meant something there. But in terms of the actual writing of the episode? No, our wills meant absolutely nothing there. Here’s the deal, when dealing with the creation of a story and/or anything like that, unless you’re willing to oust the creator in some fashion and directly take over his or her work, only the creator’s will matters at all regarding the message that’s being used. If I had a different view of Star Wars than the creators, I would have gone over to Disney, got them fired, forcibly take over production, and make sure Star Wars had nothing but Conservative Writers who made sure it is nothing less than conservative.
Fair enough. Good point.

There were scenes where a row of stormtroopers would be firing their laser guns at a good guy, all missing. Then the good guy turns around, fires his laser (machine) gun, and all dozen stormtroopers are hit and immediately fall to their deaths.
Star Wars is set in future . . .
So it is easy to see that they used the eight year presidency of Donald Trump to model the hero after . . . and the stormtroopers - GOP-e and democrats - of course!
I’ve yet to see something from them stick to the Donald and one single tweet mows down a whole column of them.
It’s a beautiful thing!
