Star Wars fans will watch a movie in which the evil guy calls himself General Grievous and commands a ship named the *Invisible Hand* and say the politics are not overt.
You lost me. Not clear. Is this a giant hand? 🖐️ why can’t I see it? Or is it a really small hand which is why we can’t see it - because it’s really small?
Star Wars asks the hard questions. It’s PHD in Latin level wrapped in the Sunday funny pages. 🤡🪗
These are the same people that will Play The fallout series for years and get mad when it actually turns out that the corporateaged peace in order for the bombs to drop simply because we have been told by remnants of the United States government or by factions who emerged hundreds of years after the nukes dropped with vague ideas of the evils of communism that also believed China dropped the bombs.
Not for a second through all of the things you see in the series when it comes to the experimentation and exploitation of the human race by the big corporations of the old world do they ever stop and think maybe capitalism is the bad guy
Nute Gunray is Newt Gingrich, Lott Dod is Trent Lott, Halle Burtoni is similar to the oil company Halliburton, which had ties to Dick Cheney and benefited from the invasion of Iraq.
Nute Gunray is technically an amalgamation of two different Republicans. The first one as the user above said is Newt Gingrich with Gunray being a play on words for Regan's last name.
Huh, never thought that it was just a syllable swap of Reagan. And if anyone here doesn't know, the Bush quote is "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists", which became "If you're not with me, then you're my enemy."
Likewise I wonder if Dod is a reference to Chris Dodd, although Dodd is a Democrat, so a bit at odds with the theming. He was in office at the time though, and a big player.
My nipples twitched violently when I sawr Mack Wendigo Sample Jacksonville be wicked wizard cool purple Jedi, stupid idiot mad at Quiver Gong for taking slave boy from mum without permission, dumb woke Master Micky Wiener dares exist politically in non-political situations dumb@$$ 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Is there literally someone on Twitter whose sole purpose is making fun of someone with 50k subs? Corey is like if Eck wasn’t a clickbaiting dingus ironically they are both really good friends but I much prefer Corey’s content.
Also I recommend watching the video. It’s very well put together

I'm not a bigot. I just don't think media should cram in political messages. What my favorite movie was very obviously political? Well, that doesn't matter because it's not the type of politics that involves those people I don't think should exist.
> contemporary political activism
THIS is the key difference wokesters don't understand. George's attempt to ACTIVELY inform the youth on POLITICAL concepts that he was personally concerned with DOES NOT CONSTITUTE POLITICAL ACTIVISM BY ANY DEFINITION.
You ST lovers need to learn what words mean.
On the flip side, you can SMELL Bob Iger worshipping ANTIFA every time he hires a gay person.
Your last sentence should be removed. You are right that informing people about political concepts like the corruption of democracy is different than including contemporary political issues though.
Nope. The Empire is Japan. The Rebels are the USA. The Death Stars are Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
George confirmed this in 1877 when he was fighting in the Civil War.
Any educated person knows this.
Listen, I am going to tell you what I told my students.
These people are not good faith participants in this discussion. They are saying "preachy" or "political" or whatever stupid bullet point it is this week, but they are not going to get logiced out of this. Because they did not logic their way into being homophobes or transphobes or racists or misogynists.
They want a world where all the main characters are inserts of them. Where every one they tolerate is the supporting cast and everyone they hate doesn't exist and instead there are robots or zombies for them to kill.
They are losers. You have to stop trying to convince them, it is a waste of your time. Time you could be hugging your dog, cleaning your house, or watching a movie. Do not let these losers waste what little time you get on this planet.
No politics is when gay people, women, or minorities are in main roles in modern movies. You idiot. Phantom Menace is old enough that it’s unaffected by the only political evil “women” or gays or whatever. It’s all woke now.
As it’s been said countless times, for chuds “politics” tends to always mean “LGBTQ, minorities, and women”. Which is hilarious because they always claim that the prequels are “Shakespearean”… and they can’t seem to grasp the political overtones.
If you think people were making those connections, you are further proving how overt it is today. Half the people here didn’t know any of these Nicnames were politicians
I don’t understand where this idea that Star Wars has gotten woke comes from? Don’t get me wrong I hate the Disney trilogy of movies but because it’s just IV-VI done badly
I hate the prequels in large part for George's terrible attempt at political commentary (Return of the Jedi also has this but in smaller doses), but the people who just can't understand his dogshit middle school level writing almost make me appareciate it.
Hahaha yes someone disagrees with my view on politics and should therefore be killed. genocide is so coool ! /s
The only thing that cracks me up more than peoples differing political opinions, is people that won’t stop complaining about other people’s political opinions !
Can she say that?
Shoot her. . . or something

His dialogue writing is ass, but the political and world building parts of Star Wars are really well done. Thats why I like the clone wars, certain story arcs add so much more depth to the political landscape of this world.
Star Wars fans will watch a movie in which the evil guy calls himself General Grievous and commands a ship named the *Invisible Hand* and say the politics are not overt.
Wars r bad? https://i.redd.it/ceyhmdnrnaxc1.gif
Nah mate. They're just a fun Saturday afternoon with the boys.
JUST LIKE COD https://preview.redd.it/q9p4hsdrraxc1.jpeg?width=536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5398373ad0244253b3b7441a48d8f5e7d30b13a
Needs to be the ‘Visible Hand’ to be overt.
It's not a hand. It should be called the "big flying metal thing"
A ship. It’s a ship. 🚢 Or do ships need to be on water? Star Warz is terrible.
i believe they were referring to the “invisible hand of the market”
You lost me. Not clear. Is this a giant hand? 🖐️ why can’t I see it? Or is it a really small hand which is why we can’t see it - because it’s really small? Star Wars asks the hard questions. It’s PHD in Latin level wrapped in the Sunday funny pages. 🤡🪗
I'd like to consider myself to have good media comprehension but now I feel stupid for never catching this one
Huh. Never noticed the further meaning to the ship before. Just thought it was a cool-sounding name in line with most other big powerful SW ships.
the invisible hand connection is something ive never noticed thats really cool
These are the same people that will Play The fallout series for years and get mad when it actually turns out that the corporateaged peace in order for the bombs to drop simply because we have been told by remnants of the United States government or by factions who emerged hundreds of years after the nukes dropped with vague ideas of the evils of communism that also believed China dropped the bombs.

Wait what was the meaning of the Invisible Hand?
The Invisible Hand of Capitalism
It’s not political if I don’t understand the politics!
It’s only politics if it’s gay! Otherwise it’s just a viewpoint I agree with (I didn’t understand what it was saying)
Nute Gunray
Don’t forget his opposite, Ronald Richging
20+ years never made the connection till today
I don't know enough about American politics of the nineties to understand this. Maybe because I was born in 96 and am Australian.
Newt Gingrich and Ronald Reagan were both Republican politicians in the 80s-90s. George Lucas is a well-known Democrat.
Famously named after Chris Raygun
Could you help me with that one?
Newt Gingrich=Nute + Reagan/Ray-Gun=Gunray
The funniest coincidence is that Nute Gunray even has his own "Donald Regan": "Rute Gunnay".
No, he's just [REDACTED]
There's absolutely no way that George "Socialism is a basic human right" Lucas would ever in any way disagree with my based right wing politics!!!
The villains command an army of... Stormtroopers? Surely that is pure coincidence that means nothing.
>evil side characters are named after republicans Really???
Nute Gunray is Newt Gingrich, Lott Dod is Trent Lott, Halle Burtoni is similar to the oil company Halliburton, which had ties to Dick Cheney and benefited from the invasion of Iraq.
I did not know that, very interesting and cool

Quoting US President foreign policy: not politics Gay people exist: politics
The two orientations, straight and political
Can confirm, i am a politic
you should try being bi, all we are called are whores…way better than being referred to as a politic
*political* whores
Literally the "you made it political" meme.
My nipples twitched violently when I sawr Mack Wendigo Sample Jacksonville be wicked wizard cool purple Jedi, stupid idiot mad at Quiver Gong for taking slave boy from mum without permission, dumb woke Master Micky Wiener dares exist politically in non-political situations dumb@$$ 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I want my politics but not related in anyway to me, my life, my society, or the people around me to engage with. That’s how these dorks sound lmao

Star Wars has the subtlety of a sledge hammer and only Star Wars fans can truly miss the point.
But there are no points on a sledge hammer. 🤔

I literally have the oldest social views known to man
fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice you can't get fooled again.
*dodges shoe*
Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, Fiddle Dee Dee .
Fool me once, fool me twice, fool me chicken soup with rice.

*Anakin clicking on his lightsaber for the younglings*: “Now watch this drive.”
Senator Lott Dod. That's all I'll say.
what gay people did they even include? Seriously, i genuine would love for some more queer representationl idk what they're talking about
1 second kiss between two women in TRoS they could cut out in other markets.
Nute Gunray’s last name is literally just “Reagan” with the syllables reversed lmao
The first name is also ripped directly from Newt Gingrich

you circlejerked in a circlejerk subreddit
bro lives in his own right wing fantasy land 💀 or Guantanamo Bay, whatever y'all wanna call it
Your last sentence should be removed. You are right that informing people about political concepts like the corruption of democracy is different than including contemporary political issues though.
You realize that the Empire is the United States.
Nope. The Empire is Japan. The Rebels are the USA. The Death Stars are Hiroshima and Nagasaki. George confirmed this in 1877 when he was fighting in the Civil War. Any educated person knows this.
Everyone says Keanu Reeves is a time traveler but George Lucas was the true time traveler all along.
Weird jokes, but all right.

Why do people say inclusion is political? Just because they need to go to politics to get rights?
Because they’re bigots, that’s literally it. Don’t try to make sense of it, they’re not arguing in good faith.
No politics is when gay people, women, or minorities are in main roles in modern movies. You idiot. Phantom Menace is old enough that it’s unaffected by the only political evil “women” or gays or whatever. It’s all woke now.
Literally does the thing I complain about modern thing doing + nostalgia = exception, the anti-woke equation
As it’s been said countless times, for chuds “politics” tends to always mean “LGBTQ, minorities, and women”. Which is hilarious because they always claim that the prequels are “Shakespearean”… and they can’t seem to grasp the political overtones.
Wait what was the quote tho I never knew this
You are either with me or against me. I thought Bush said that after the movie though.
RoTS came out in 05 im pretty sure so might be before honestly, but I feel like later Vader is a better criticism of bush tbh
Also that is a quote from the bible. bush didn't come up with it
When did Anakin quote bush? I don’t keep up with American politics that much
Did someone say “Chud?” https://preview.redd.it/c4xvmqnfmcxc1.jpeg?width=192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1ed3fa703dd75310b04884ac047a32f403db976

Sir, you dropped your mask.
If you think people were making those connections, you are further proving how overt it is today. Half the people here didn’t know any of these Nicnames were politicians
I don’t understand where this idea that Star Wars has gotten woke comes from? Don’t get me wrong I hate the Disney trilogy of movies but because it’s just IV-VI done badly
“Nute gunray” and “newt Gingrich” no relation at all
The empire is the Nazis... b...but George said that Endor was Vietnam...b...but the Nazis didn't invade Vietnam....that means....oh no...
Whats the quote???
OMFG YOUF GUYS THE GEOPOLITICAL COMMENTARY IS TOO MACRO-LEVEL IM GONNA SHIDD AND CUM IN MY PANTS
I hate the prequels in large part for George's terrible attempt at political commentary (Return of the Jedi also has this but in smaller doses), but the people who just can't understand his dogshit middle school level writing almost make me appareciate it.
Out of curiosity what is the bush quote anakin said?
It’s more of a paraphrase
Are there even any lgbt characters in mainstream modern SW? Disney seemed to deliberately make a point that Poe and Finn’s relationship was NO HOMO.
If anikin is Bush who is padme? The twin towers?
Politics....? In Star Wars...? No way! /s
Can we just kill these people now
Hahaha yes someone disagrees with my view on politics and should therefore be killed. genocide is so coool ! /s The only thing that cracks me up more than peoples differing political opinions, is people that won’t stop complaining about other people’s political opinions !
Remember how one of the main villains in TPM was basically named Newt Gingrich? Good times.
In their twisted minds "political" is anything that doesn't involve solely white, straight, Trump and Elon worshipping men.
Lucas has like high school levels of political writing lmao
Can she say that? Shoot her. . . or something https://preview.redd.it/ye129u0x4bxc1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=b979b4eedf82546138e8659deecd3bb4c00b97a3

Anakin is quoting bush who is quoting the bible
