I have a funny feeling that George Lucas, a huge communist himself and doesn’t exactly make it a secret that he’s a huge fan of the Vietcong and even the way the Soviet Union makes films, was the one who demanded it to be cut since he didn’t want to imply that communism was bad in any way.
And I also have a funny feeling that was decanonized anyhow especially when the Expanded Universe if anything implied businesses were the Empire’s best friend (Corporate Sector Authority and the Corporate Sector as a whole), not to mention the Imperial Handbook when talking about the Empire’s plans via their own words make absolutely NO mention of nationalizing stuff to the degree of owning Lars’ moisture farms (and bear in mind that book doesn’t shy away from mentioning that they have no intention of restoring the Senate, not to mention explicitly stating they ought to exterminate species if they prove to be a threat, so if they really wanted to nationalize small businesses, they would have made sure to mention it there).
Besides, even if it were still canon, I suspect Lucas initially put it in there as an attempt at bashing our involvement in Vietnam rather than intended for it to be a condemnation of Communism. I still remember how my film professor at GPC, Thomas Anderson, when I tried to point out how the post-Vietnamization thing if anything proved the Domino Theory correct when he implied that showed it was proven false that we were taking over Vietnam for their tin deposits. Even have the recordings. Did I mention he was a HUGE anti-military, anti-Vietnam War protestor in his youth as well as today and made no secret about it ESPECIALLY after the cut off date passed?
That was PR. According to his 1971 development notes as well as his own statements at the time and those of Walter Murch, he specifically modeled the Empire after us Americans, and the Rebels if anything were meant to be the Vietcong (and worse, tastelessly implied that the American Minutemen were exactly like the Vietcong).
If you wonder why I root for the Empire now instead of the Rebel Alliance (I rooted for the Rebels as a kid partly BECAUSE I thought they were meant to be Americans. Lucas crushed that view back in 2012.), that’s why. I don’t like rooting for Communists, ESPECIALLY if I only did so due to being tricked. And it looks like you fell for it as well.
He always had absolute hatred and contempt for all of mankind. He just hid it well.
Taken over? George Lucas himself was an SJW from the start, an anti-war, pro-Vietcong, anti-Capitalist, pro-Communist/Socialist SJW, since the 1970s. If anything, they made it MORE SJW than before. That’s why I’m upset at having to root for the villains of the franchise, the Galactic Empire. I prefer rooting for the heroes, but he modeled the heroes after true scumbags, Communists.
Oh that was noted back in 1977 and the leftist barbs hit Lucas. In reaction Lando was introduced in the next one.
yup
but ironically they ruined it by midichlorians
taken over by people who demand to put sjw messages into “entertainment”
therefore turning it all into sjw propaganda
I guess forms will now offer Racist instead of Caucasian.
Unfortunately, “taken over” isn’t quite the accurate term for Star Wars, since George Lucas intended for it to be SJW tripe since the 1970s.
Star Wars And Lucasfilm are owned by Disney. George sold them to Disney in 2012.
Currently, Lucas is among the most intellectually dishonest people alive.
However, flashback to Lucas of 1977 Star Wars for this little gem to solidify my point about his own correlations between the Galactic Empire and the Soviet Union, per the article referenced below:
“Biggs has no patience for these excuses. “What good’s all your uncle’s work if the Empire takes it over? You know they’ve already started to nationalize commerce in the central systems? It won’t be long before your uncle’s just a tenant slaving for the greater glory of the Empire.” (Scene runs from 2:38 to 5:42 time stamp.)
That one line of dialogue transforms the Empire from a militaristic antagonist with an entirely unknown policy agenda to a totalitarian government with a state-run economy that bears a strong resemblance to both Hitler’s National Socialism and Stalin’s “socialism in one country.”
The scene in which Biggs urges Luke to fight to defend the free market may not have made it into the final film, but the implications it makes about Imperial economic policy live on. According to Wookiepedia, an online encyclopedia of the Star Wars expanded universe, Emperor Palpatine’s version of the anti-capitalist policies of his Nazi and Soviet counterparts was known as “imperialization,” a program that included “the state control and centralization of economic procedures… [and] commercial enterprises.” A major subplot in the recent novel Star Wars: Thrawn shows how imperialization ruined the mining planet Lothal, replacing innovation with cronyism and leading to forced labor, environmental destruction, and a massacre of peaceful protestors.”
We can go back and forth all day about what Lucas and the Disney psychopaths currently say/do.
However, upon close inspection of Biggs’ talking points to Luke, the Empire’s collectivization efforts are straight out of the Soviet playbook.
Precisely correct.
Biggs’ talking points about the Galactic Empire’s forced collectivization efforts are typical Communist tactics.
To take away from the individual farmer on behalf of the totalitarian government is communism defined.
Agreed. Disney Star Wars is TRASH!
I have only watched one of the Disney films, and it was Rogue One. The reason? Darth Vader was in the film.
Yes, I watched it one time and haven’t watched it since.
It was alright, but nothing amazing.
The OT will always be both timeless and amazing.
Who said anything about “currently say”? I’m talking about George Lucas’s old notes penned back to when he started writing the film.
This bit, I mean:
https://otnesse.tumblr.com/post/162081709399/this-is-from-george-lucas-1973-notes-for-star
This if anything points to Star Wars being planned from the start of being pro-Communist/anti-American by Lucas himself. Probably one of the few instances where he actually WAS honest (and certainly the only one of those things he claims always happened that I WISH was a lie rather than true).
As far as the deleted scene is concerned, you’re assuming George Lucas was the one who wrote it, and more importantly that he would have wanted it in. What makes you think he wasn’t the one who, say, ordered for it to be cut in the first place? I find it extremely unlikely that a guy who sings praises for how Stalin runs films in the height of the Soviets like he did with Charlie Rose would be against that bit. And even if we WERE to assume for just a moment he did indeed want that, we have no way of guaranteeing if he actually meant the Soviet playbook when he wrote that scene. He’s part of the anti-war left, probably one of the more radical of them at that since he deliberately modeled the “heroes” after the Vietcong. For all we know, he may have meant “nationalize commerce” as in “we went to Vietnam solely to raid their tin deposits”, like a very radical leftist film professor in college did back in 2011, a professor I had the absolute misfortune of having to deal with. And if you really must know, here are the audio files for the professor (I think it was mid-to-late in the semester, since that was when he REALLY let loose with his far left sympathies, conveniently around the time his students can no longer leave a course by the midway point.): https://www.mediafire.com/folder/kuoug340id3bz/Introduction+to+Film Besides, with the EU, especially stuff like Han Solo and the Corporate Sector, they treated businesses and capitalism as allies of the Empire, not its enemies, and the Corporate Sector Authority was actually given a significant amount of freedom, barely needing to do anything beyond a yearly tax for the Empire, while ironically, it’s the REBELS who intended to pretty much break the system upon gaining power and calling them “worse than the Empire.”
Yeah, and for all we know, Lucas deleted that scene precisely BECAUSE he wanted to avoid implying in any way that Communism was bad.
And besides, the radical anti-war left claimed WE were engaging in “nationalization” when entering Vietnam. I’d know, a film professor (one of my WORST professors if you ask me), who definitely was an aging student radical supporting all the leftist causes, when I bluntly told him when he claimed the end of the Vietnam War proved the Domino Theory wrong that Vietnam being invaded by the Communists as well as Cambodia and Laos if anything proved the theory was right cut me off and said “We invaded them first, all to get their tin deposits” or something like that. So it’s not a guarantee that Lucas had in mind the Soviet playbook when he did that or Communism even when he said that (especially when his actions and words back then and today had him making VERY clear that he adhered to Marxist thought, even paraphrasing Marx’s dictum when gloating about his victory over Hollywood, to say little about his constant railing against corporations and all of that.).
It’s hard to say. The scene remained in the novel and comic book tie ins. From what I read it was deleted when Lucas showed a rough cut to some director friends of his and Brian de Palma offered to do some improvements and it was cut because it slowed down the pace. There were two allusions to the badness of the Empire left in. Ancient Rome and the Nazis. (old republic, legions, stormtroopers)
#69 I like the comments.
The comments always get to the truth.
Technically, the term stormtroopers predated Nazi Germany, and if anything was a holdover from World War I Imperial Germany (of which the Stormtroopers of Star Wars bore a closer depiction to than to those overglorified bouncer/street brawler Sturmabteilung). I’ll give you the Roman Empire, though...
And considering they inserted in a Civil War thing as a reference to Vietnam, if I think How Star Wars Conquered the Universe is of any indication, I don’t think that really disproves my point (especially not when Brian de Palma was also responsible for that anti-American Redacted movie that led directly to a terror attack in Germany around the time it was released). Plus, that only amounted to... what? Two lines, three lines tops? That doesn’t strike me as slowing down the pace. Now, if Biggs Darklighter gave a full essay on it like say how the various characters, namely Solidus Snake or maybe the Patriot AIs talked in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, where they data dump everything, THEN I might be able to see how that’d slow down the pace: https://youtu.be/eur7nV_ZqJY
