I disagree when people say politics ruins modern day media. I think for something like the Star Wars prequels the politics actually enhances the story and makes it able to be appreciated by older fans (especially in this modern era but I digress)
In fact to me to say the Sequels are too policial, is giving it too much credit. They don’t have any political manipulation or senate talks. None of that. What little they do give is an unsubtle obvious enviormental message and a Nazi allusion to of course the First Order the obvious bad guys. We can’t have the New Republic doing bad things themselves can we?
I think it when it comes to politics, if you are going to incorporate them, you have to do it in an interesting way.
Also I disagree with the idea that politics should be left out because we consume to be an escape from the real world. This is such disingenuous argument to me. We go into media to escape but a lot of the time we also go into media to think. And as long as you tell it a clever way then I think it’s fine.
