It has EVERYTHING to do with Star Wars. George Lucas wrote Star Wars as an anti-American space fantasy. The Empire was the standin for the US, and the Rebel Alliance was his space Viet Cong. Lucas has admitted this many times in the past two decades.He didn’t tell people at first because he didn’t want to stop the flow of money. So he let us think it was a good old fashioned story about good and evil. Lucas always hated that angle. He’s a cultural Marxist to the core.

Give up Hollywood. You’re giving money and power to people that hate your guts.

Lucas put in subtle things like naming a villain “Nute Gunray” but nothing to this degree.

Mostly true but only if you pay to watch their shows or movies. There are ways around paying for it and you can always pay to see it if it's someone you want to support. No need to feed the monsters.

Unfortunately, you’re right about George Lucas and Star Wars (especially the whole anti-American angle, which unlike, say, his claim that Vader was always meant to be Luke’s father or his claim that Greedo had always shot first, this bit actually IS backed up by his 1973 development notes. Hence why I’m rooting for the Empire. No one tricks me into rooting for communists and gets away with it), and as early as ROTJ he started giving hints that he does not actually believe in true good and evil (Obi-Wan Kenobi pretty much stated to Luke that truth basically depended on a point of view when Luke confronted him about his lying about Vader, and that’s not even getting into his infamous “Only a Sith Deals in Absolutes” retort in Revenge of the Sith. It’s funny, even though the Sith were supposed to be evil, they actually came far closer to actually HAVING moral absolutes than the actual heroes.).

I won’t say that we should give up on Hollywood, though, as believe it or not, there’s still some people there who are willing to promote American values, especially those of their customers, instead of trying to interject left-wing messages. There’s American Sniper, for one.
