Description

"George Lucas spoke about the didactic role of cinema and about his own work being presented through the "moral megaphone" of the film industry. A considerable body of scholarship on the six-part Star Wars series argues (unconvincingly) that the franchise promoted neo-conservatism in American culture from the late 1970s onward"--;"Man your ships, and may the force be with you": Star wars and mythically sanitized violence -- "Wars not make one great": redeeming the Star wars -- Mythos from the myth of redemptive violence -- "There'll be no escape for the princess this time": re-gendering the patriarchal Sstar wars texts -- "We don't serve their kind here!" Star wars and the politics of difference.
