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.
