If a movie is not a vehicle for promoting Marxism, the movie critics will pan it. The first Star Wars was all about rebellion against totalitarianism.

Funny you should say that, because the first Star Wars movie actually WAS promoting Marxism. Don’t forget, George Lucas planned to have Star Wars be an allegorical criticism to American involvement in the Vietnam War since at LEAST 1973, and specifically envisioned the Empire as being us Americans, and the Rebel Alliance as the Vietcong. George Lucas made this very clear, and in case you, for understandable reasons, don’t believe him any more than the boy who cried wolf, his friends can back that up.
