#his basic politics about democracy & fascism & resisting imperialism are not objectionable

[ahsoka-in-a-hood]

I’m basically in favor of alternate readings and I don’t consider it some kind of obligation to embrace the authors vision. And like in the case of SW specifically I get not always agreeing with George Lucas I mean he has written some racist shit occasionally and honestly even some of his benign concepts are kinda weird at times. Not everyone is gonna vibe with that. Still, I feel like if you’re gonna engage in analysis it is useful to acknowledge what the intention of the story was, even if to know where and why you’re re-interpreting it.

#also lol anti-satine crowd stop inventing shit to pad out your take and trying to pass your hcs off as canon. it's dumb and people do notice #anyway #despite GL's flaws I get along fairly well with many of his ideas. #it's a decent tragedy. gets good marks from me lol #and i do quite like his funky fantasy buddhism #his basic politics about democracy & fascism & resisting imperialism are not objectionable #etc #there's some stuff i don't like obviously but overall i'm happy with the story #I also would have enjoyed anakin's tragedy if it had been about the institutions of the republic destroying a boy and creating #the very monster that would in turn destroy them. It's a solid concept! It fucks! #But I like the more personal story we got too
