After the sequel trilogy, Lucasfilm has faced unexpected challenges when it comes to creating Star Wars films. However, the franchise continues to thrive on Disney+. Despite numerous attempts at new big-screen adventures, many announced movies have faded into obscurity without being released. But recent indications suggest that this trend might be about to change for the better. This development is exciting news for fans eagerly awaiting Daisy Ridley’s reprisal of her role as Rey.
It’s confirmed that a Star Wars movie is on its way since The Mandalorian and Grogu have wrapped up filming. Another Star Wars film, following the storyline after The Rise of Skywalker, has been announced. This upcoming production will bring back Daisy Ridley as Rey, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Currently, it seems this project is moving forward, and according to George Nolfi, the film’s writer, he intends to draw substantial inspiration from the original George Lucas films, particularly in terms of the political themes that define the Star Wars franchise. As he shared…
George Lucas’ six films and the universe he built are deeply rooted in political ideas, even if they don’t directly reflect contemporary politics. For instance, the Empire in the saga can be seen as a blend of Nazism and the Roman Empire. The decline of the democratic Roman Republic into an empire is another theme, as well as the timeless struggle of human societies against disorder. Interestingly, the means they employ to maintain order often transform into oppression.
As a movie critic, I can’t help but acknowledge the profound political undertones that permeate the Star Wars universe. Just as Nolfi points out, the tale of democracy slipping into autocracy is far from veiled. Initially, one might find the opening conflict over trade routes to be rather mundane, but it soon becomes evident that this seemingly trivial dispute was a crucial stepping stone in an insidious plan to seize control of the entire galaxy.
Indeed, it’s worth noting that debates about politics in films today can easily spark heated discussions. Some film enthusiasts argue, whether justified or not, that media has grown overly political. However, George Nolfi aims to integrate these themes subtly, ensuring his work doesn’t come across as a didactic lecture to the viewers. He went on to explain…
Essentially, George Lucas’s message was deeply embedded in what he created, and one of the marvelous aspects of science fiction, particularly Star Wars, is that it allows for the exploration of profound topics without making it feel like a lecture on philosophy, politics, or current events.
It’s intriguing to speculate about how politics might play out in this upcoming series of movies, as it seems that the First Order in the sequel trilogy could be just another manifestation of the old Empire. Could these new films introduce a fresh authoritarian force aimed at challenging the Republic? Or might they explore a unique approach to continue the storyline?
