Thanks. Some here think it matters what the creator meant, whether a song or film. All that matters is what the PEOPLE think it means. They are the ultimate interpreters.
If people were the ultimate interpreters, we wouldn’t even NEED God. However, God makes clear that we if anything are insignificant compared to his infinite wisdom, so if anything, no, we AREN’T the ultimate interpreters of anything, not art, not history, not facts, nothing.
Besides, we would have killed each other just to ensure only OUR OWN interpretation is the one that’s factual. It’s what’s happened in history when various people had differing viewpoints. Why do you think wars occurred? Because of differing viewpoints. Why do you think the French Revolution had people slaughtering each other? Operating under their own differing viewpoints.
The political commentary crap about this movie is just that - crap. This is not a political film, but a brilliant prequel to the very first Star Wars of 1977.
In fact, I’ll go as far as to call it perhaps the best Star Wars film after the original.
Excellent acting, plot, humor, heroism, etc, etc. The CGI re-animation of Peter Cushing was particularly eerie. It had EVERYTHING that the last Star Wars film did not. That one was the biggest disappointment of the franchise - this one is the most pleasant surprise.
