        Also George Lucas, Nationalizing private enterprise is bad, m’kay?

        The man tries to be on the side of the angels, god bless 'im, but while it’s clear politics were one more source to draw from in world building, he was not making any particularly coherent political argument, even in the PT; it all just more or less jibes with the worldview of a left-leaning Californian boomer.

          Lucas is a less a political philosopher, and more into remixing. The imagery and the themed work.
