I don't get it is it supposed to be anti-semitic

That's definitely where Anakin is going, at least.

[-] Perfide@reddthat.com 14 points 2 years ago

Anakin is, yes. Padme isn't.

My interpretation is that Lucas made it out to be entirely the evil Sith destroying an otherwise reasonable galactic social order. When in reality, fascism happens with no magic required.

Not at all IMO, the Sith simply took advantage of the evil inherent in the system. That’s part of why the Jedi were so blind to it.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

Lucas seems to grasp for that interpretation, but he's not politically savvy enough or a good enough writer to pull it off. Clone Wars fixes it.

You're right of course. I phrased that poorly and meant my interpretation of the meme, not the movies.

[-] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

That was my interpretation
