Forget the Prequel Trilogy, he tried politics as far back as A New Hope back before it got that name when he wrote the movie to be, of all things, pro-Vietcong/anti-American involvement in the Vietnam War propaganda, with the Empire being America and the Rebels being the Vietcong (and the Ewoks being Vietcong in an even more explicit manner). Heck, Leia’s characterization in the final film was due to Lucas wanting to bring about solidarity to Second-Wave Feminism, and in fact, it was the byproduct of a prior attempt at making Luke into a girl (originally, Leia WAS closer to the classic Disney Princess model, spoiled sweet, even if she WAS ultimately meant to represent Vietcong from the start.).
Even though I know Bob Iger’s spewing bullcrap regarding his denials that it is not politics (and if he truly was going to claim it wasn’t politics, he should have fired Weitz and Witta when they made those tweets against Trump, you know, to at least keep up the illusion they are politically neutral. I know I would have fired them if I were in his position.), we shouldn’t be naïve as to think they started pushing politics with The Force Awakens, or even that Disney was the cause of it. Star Wars always pushed leftist politics in its films, even back in the Original Trilogy. The Original Trilogy was a bit more subtle about it.
That all being said, I’m still hesitant to see Rogue One, not until I’m absolutely sure that it’s not going to pull anything on me.
The author of that book Allfather Saga responded to an email from me and he/she (not sure if C.K. is a man or woman) said he is in talks about his series being made into a movie or TV show. If you love conservative principles check this out. I posted al ink here about it. He said Trump built the wall, saved America and had Drudge and Breitbart that helped. Here’s a few links - look at the map of one of the continents of this fantasy novel. Notice Rush Limbaugh, Milo from Breitbart, a continent named Breitbart and one named Drudge. The books (I read all 3 ) were the most political and entertaining at hte same time that I have read all year.
