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. But there is much in Lucas' grand space opera to suggest something more ideologically complex is going on. This book challenges the view of the saga as an unambiguously violent text exemplifying reactionary politics and discusses the films' identity politics with regard to race and gender.
