Just another point on the laundry list of reasons the prequels fucked everything up.

I mean they certainly fuck up a lot, but I think they, in larger narative strokes, do a good job of touching on how the failures of neoliberalism decay into fascism as complacent systems fail.

I'm just not sure Lucas meant to do it

Idk, there was that interview he said the rebels were the viet cong, that the soviets had more freedom in what sorts of films they could get greenlit because you didn't have to pitch it on how much money it would make, and I believe in it said that he was trying to show the decay into fascism under GHW Bush. The dude is not a good director, and can't write dialog or people for shit, but I think he's knows what he's doing generally.

In a good way. The prequels felt like they are a part of a different era of history. While the sequels where just the originals but more.
