Looking back at the Prequels and how George Lucas got treated for them and by Disney, I'm coming to the realization that he may have actually been extremely based all along, and tried to warn us.
Ever watch the Clone Wars? Multiple story arcs where the ultimate message is "Don't trust the banks, they're in bed with corruption".
The parallels to be drawn to the events of this year are astounding.
I’ve brought this up to my parents multiple times. The prequels were literally about a Soros-looking guy pulling strings to consolidate power over a dying system, and creating a war where he plays both sides to do so. When Padme says “so this is how liberty dies.. with thunderous applause”, it’s the best line in the entire trilogy, because despite how much shit they get for being too flashy and void of real story... It’s there and it’s actually pretty based. The difference is, Soros can’t shoot lightning out of his fingers.. That we know of...
Phantom Menace is all about a blockade put in place by the Trade Federation, the Separatists in AOTC/ROTS are bankers, hell, even the rancid turd that was The Last Jedi has some SJW detour on “rich asshole” planet where they point blank say that wealthy people fund both sides to get rich off of the effects.
Honestly people give me flak but I like the prequels way more, because, though their delivery is stunted, the world they paint and the stories they tell are all so much more extensive.
Other cross-overs have to do with the whole "religious" aspects; the light vs the dark; how the Jedi order got corrupted and manipulated (much like modern religious institutions). Other noticeable things include the visible changes in architecture and design, especially around the government, as evil takes control; literal dark side artifacts on display for all to see in the chancellor's office (satanic symbology anyone?) and the final acts containing both a coup and a (failed) counter-coup.
There's also a strong side narrative about the irony of the Republic using slave as their army in the form of the clones.
Lastly, there's the constant reminder that the senate isn't liked by anyone and gets basically nothing done in a timely manner unless it's a part of the agenda of the chancellor.
