The story of Star Wars is over – The contemporary

The illusion is broken and instead of fleeing the sad life of the incredible world of fairy tales, we engage in the contemporary debate, so too simplistic and therefore disrespectful.

When Disney bought Star Wars 2012, many fans were skeptical and many of them were enthusiastic and impatient: follow-ups would finally satisfy the nostalgic and new viewers.

The first movie of the series, The force awakens, was created just before Christmas 2015 and has turned out to be a holiday for the nostalgic. The director J J Abrams would return to the feelings of the first three classic films 1977-1983. Harris Ford returns as smuggler and reluctant hero Han Solo, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia and Mark Hamill as Jedi Luke Luke Skywalker.

Some want to say that Awakens Force has so many similarities with the first movie New hope from 1977, you could watch the new movies as a reboot of the entire Star Wars saga. We have a young orphaned hero on a desert plane, a cute robot carrying important information and a devilish military power with a giant space base capable of destroying planets with his jet weapon.

But other fans thought that everything was wrong. There was a risk that leftovers in the American film industry and in the entertainment industry as a whole would have too much impact. And the skeptics were right – The force awakens was a continuation of the history of the beloved space, a distant galaxy, but also a contribution to the contemporary debate from a perspective of the left. The heroine Rey is clearly a young woman who, without any training, follows a much more powerful villain, the equivalent of this film in Darth Vader – Kylo Ren.

This distant galaxy turns out to be quite similar to our own world. Against evil, "the white empire" are the "multicultural" rebels. It all looks like an AFA from space fighting a stereotypical spacecraft, led by a neurotic general suspected to be Eric Trump, Donald's son.

The trend continued in the next film, Thief A, which came out in 2016 as a standalone spin-off. It was indeed an adult and darker Star Wars movie, but containing the same left-handed and intelligent left in the struggle between the evil empire and the liberation rebels.

On the desert moon, Jedha is in the holy city of Jedha. The city has a clearly Arab character, and in the bazaar, you meet foreigners in the Niqab, facing a lion. Saw Gerrera (a suspected name like Che Guevara) is leading a rebellion against the imperialist occupation. His men have what looks like an Arab dragon, wearing a turban and called "fanatics". It seems that we wanted to associate Jedha City with Mecca, the most famous holy Arab city of the desert. Is there a new attempt by the postcolonial left to "understand" Islamic terrorism and place it in a context of anti-imperialist struggle and Third World romance? In Saw Gerrara and his "fanatics" on Jedha, you can see a spatial version of the association of Islamic emblems that characterizes parts of the left of today.

In the movie The last JediThe heroine Rey discovers Luber Skywalker, an aging Jedi army, on a remote island with the mission of persuading Luke to leave the island and rescue the rebels who are barely employed by The First Order, heir to the empire and his Chief Kylo Ren. Resistance needs him. In addition to being very white, the First Order, like the old empire, is dominated by men, while rebels find not only all sexes and all colors, but also extraterrestrials with an appearance "primitive" that will make us think of "precious savagery". has its cultures destroyed by European colonialism.

The political message in the new Star Wars movies becomes almost unambiguous when the admiral of the rebel fleet, a blue-haired "witch batik", sets up the Machinist Pilote Poe pill. But the rebels are not only fair warriors, they have, like the "fanatics" of Saw Gerara, also some characteristics relating to the thought of Islamic terrorism. The blue-haired Admiral, for example, saves the rebels by suicide bombing. But when the freedom fighter, Finn, tries to do the same, he is saved by a girl, which makes him think.

Nostalgians hoped that The force awakens would be a rebirth for Star Wars has probably stopped waiting for a long time. Otherwise, the latest film about Han Solo that came out this year, Solo: A story of Star Wars, probably the drop that made the cup run. In this film, the magic and epic of the distant galaxy have definitely returned to left-wing justice. In addition, movies now come too often. It's like Marvel movies – a feeling of saturation begins to manifest itself.

When the charming crooks and cowboys from the space, Han Solo, appeared in the first film New hope In 1977, he became one of the most popular characters of Star Wars. He had a hairy companion called Chewbacca and a spaceship called Millenium Falcon. In the new movie, you tell how he got his name, how he knew Chewbacca and how he got his ship. Unfortunately, the new incumbent, Alden Ehrenreich, is unable to shake Harrison Ford's coat. Ford is likely to own the role for all future. The smile of an Ehrenreich spy seems astonished.

A lot of Han Solo's charm in New hope It's about not being a hero, looking for money, but having a good heart and stopping the rebel struggle. In the new movie, the character is killed by making him a hero who is on the right side from the beginning. But, in the new Disney spirit, it can not do without a strong woman. This time, her name is Qi & # 39; ra and is played by Emilia Clarke, known to Game of thrones. It is she, and not Han Solo, who wins the final battle against the big boat of the film. In comparison with Qi & # 39; ra, he is very unhappy. Among the fans on the Internet, he received the nickname Soylo after soy, which is supposed to make the mouse of men.

Of course, there is no fault for women heroes or hard girls, and they may override the male characters in the film. But when you see how compulsive it is and part of a left-wing agenda – pushed into film by movie – it becomes disturbing and you feel as if the viewers were not respected. One must be educated as a student in an authoritarian school in the old. The illusion is broken and instead of fleeing the sad life of the incredible world of fairy tales, we engage in the contemporary debate, so too simplistic and therefore disrespectful.

To make the left even more ridiculous in its supremacy, an L3-37 robot has been introduced, which scans the slogans of the fair war. The character is at least as annoying as Jar Jar Binks of the prequel movie The ghost threat (1999), but unlike Jar Jar, L3-37 is not meant to be comic relief, but just to make weird statements about "equal rights". Maybe some heretics have they fraudulently introduced to make a parody of left? It's possible, or just Hollywood has left behind a lack of self-awareness – they do not see how their "match" has become ridiculous.

According to Pope's team, a sincere extremism can easily be interpreted as a travesty. You could make an independent interpretation of L3-37 as a metaphor for how the robot went. You disable critical thinking and repeat slogans that you can not explain, and when someone thinks differently, you become "fooled", censor or isolate yourself in a "safe room".

The film is predictable in every respect – not only in terms of remains, but also in action and as a spectator. He feels that he has a length ahead of the characters. Too bad it ends so for Han Solo – he deserves to remember better.

But with The force awakens If the Star Wars saga was already over, consider many fans. However, with the current climate in cultural life, one can not expect much more – instead of a powerful email, you get sad and predictable debates. The warriors of justice simply can not let anyone give free rein to the imagination, joy and calm of a pure creature – all must be subordinated to the "struggle".

We can hope that critical fans boycott Solo: A story of Star Wars helped to withdraw so little money. However, it is doubtful that a financial loss could have a robotic brain – like that of L3-37 – to think about, rethink or try to understand the Other, to use a word from the vocabulary of L & # 39; cultural lover.
