Sometimes I wonder if George Lucas had been a better writer how things might have been different.
Maybe if he had done a better job, perhaps it would have done nothing because some dumb movie plot doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things… or maybe it would have help to shift our culture just a bit more in the right direction… The prequel trilogy was meant to basically mirror the fall of the Weimar Republic to the 3rd Reich. You can’t tell me the “Execute Order 66” montage was not inspired by old “shlankily klankily’s” Night of Long Knives.
By the time he was making the prequels, George was basically God to anyone in his orbit. He no longer had anyone there to tell him “no” anymore, nor his awesome wife to save him in the editing bay, so we ended up with Jar Jar and…
It might sound silly at first, but Gore only lost by the tiniest of margins (and a garbage conservative Supreme Court decision). If even only a few minds had been changed, maybe there would have been no 9/11, no “war on terror” with Iraq and Afghanistan, no Patriot Act, and maybe real mitigations on climate change could have been instituted.
One of my favorite comedians said “The Star Wars prequels were great ideas… executed poorly… but the sequels were poor ideas… executed greatly.”
9/11 was happening . It was driven by the happenings in Afghanistan not the us. Basically the northern alliance was gaining ground hard and consistent against the tailiban.
Ahmad Massoud would have been assassinated regardless . September 9th was the day the taliban won. It just took 2 decades of hindsight to see that.
You are mistaken, you are witnessing the fall of the US republic. At the same time you are seeing the rise of an empire.
Jeez, even resignation is grandiose for Americans.
I mean it’s true. It’ll be an empire because we have a ton of firepower and aggression. It’ll just be an evil empire.
Sorry world. I didn’t vote for the orange dipshit and his enablers.
Still a pale imitation of the British, they had a real empire. America had Puerto Rico and Guam .
This is how liberty dies. With thunderous applaus.

The smallest alterations can change the world.
If the bullet had been an inch to the right we wouldn’t be about to give the reins of our nation to an anti-democratic felon rapist.

Oh fuck! You might be right 😯
