    I like that phrasing: Star Wars is more “dramatic”. Although it got fairly deep into politics too, which I think most people simply glazed over. The perils and vulnerability of democracies to authoritarian takeovers from within definitely sounds a tiny bit familiar these days, though would have fallen more on deaf ears ~50 years ago.

      I mean, it wouldn’t have fallen on deaf ears to those it kept happening to, just not in the US.
