What do you think is the reason why people hate the politics in the Star wars prequels but people like LOTGH despite a large part of it being about politics? (ignoring the fact that LOTGH politics is obviously more based, since normies generally don't care about that)
Edit: LOTGH=Legend of the Galactic Heroes for those who don't know
LOTGH presents its story neutrally. the characters all do things that make sense to them, and the world changes based on the character's actions. whether their actions are good or bad, justified or unjustified, is up to the reader/viewer.
Star Wars has clear lines drawn between good and evil. this in and of itself is not a bad thing, but it is a poor canvas for politics. it leaves little room for interpretation or exploration of the political themes, making star wars better suited for propaganda than political exploration.
also, DEI is not politics. it's just state-sanctioned racism.
