That’s funny, I thought it was just the opposite. The whole gnostic “Force” thing is VERY eastern. Yoda is like an eastern sensei. Besides all that, one should consider the possibility that, overall, classical western culture/philosophy IS superior. It shouldn’t be beyond the pale to discuss, provided that two “western” assumptions are granted. One, A cannot equal B and NOT B at the same time. Two, there is such a thing as “best”.

Some people have way too much time on their hands.

What malcontents, always looking for an offense.

It’s a game, called “Woker Than Thou.” No matter how progressive and woke you are, someone is out there trying to find a way to establish that they are woker than you are. It’s the Woke Olympics! Wokapalooza!

They brought back Hamill so he could be a sad old man drinking milk from a tit, then proceeded to show how a SJW Mary Sue is way better than him.

Star Wars is over....

The story line of “The Empire Strikes Back” was that a Black man would sell out his buddy for a chance at the buddy’s white woman.

The ending of the original movie was cribbed from “Triumph of the Will”

Williams’s music associates the “good guys” with the grand orchestral style of the European Romantics (think of the beautifully hummable melodies for Luke, Leia and Rey), while the themes for the “bad guys” are expressed in the vocabulary of Chinese, Indian and Middle Eastern music. AD

What? There's only two scores within the Star Wars soundtracks that everyone knows - the intro/Rebel theme, and Darth Vader's Imperial March. And Lord Vader's doesn't sound Chinese or Indian or Middle Eastern AT ALL.

May the Force spare us from movie critics who are “educated” liberals.

Star Wars is shot with “Orientalizing” stereotypes — patronizing tropes that represent an imagined East, or the Orient, as inferior to the rational, heroic West.

Actually, they really cleaned up the Buck Rogers-Flash Gordon material they started with.

No more Fu Manchu or Ming the Merciless.

Yeah let’s talk about Star Wars where the black guy is a drooling fanboy, a stereotype that the KKK would be proud of.

Political campaign ads have been doing this long before Star Wars hit the screen.

Imagine waking up every day looking for racism everywhere.

Meanwhile the Left has no problem imposing their liberal immoral ideology on other cultures, requiring they support the homosexual agenda, and abortion, etc, while fostering the victim-entitlement welfare mentality.
