The 2nd series dealt with complex issues of Republic vs Empire, of the Individual vs the the State. The last series is a bout glorifying ‘strong women’, unfortunately the first one should have ended when the robot clotheslined her, i couldnt see any human getting up without a concussion or blod clots on the brain. they ruined it cuz they made it more fake than it had to be to glorify what? women? pu-lease.
Wrong movie. Rey is never clotheslined by that droid in The Force Awakens. You’re thinking of the anthology movie Rogue One with Jyn Erso (and I must admit, I actually thought Jyn Erso was far better handled than Rey was. At least Erso didn’t ace everything perfectly.).
I’m hesitant to list the 2nd series as “individual vs. the state”. If anything, it was more like “collectivism vs. individualism”, with the Jedi and good guys representing collectivism and the Sith and bad guys representing individualism. Even Lucas made that pretty clear in a few interviews.
