Actually, under it all, Star Wars was American History. A bunch of Rebels who want liberty band together to fight the most powerful Empire in the galaxy (in 1776 it was the the most powerful empire on the planet).

Through skill and determination they defeat the menace so they can live freely.

THAT was the underlying message of Star Wars. It wasn't about 'underdogs', or 'social justice' or any of that crap - it was about diverse people fighting for LIBERTY against an EMPIRE that was evil because it wanted to control everything.

The Left think they are the Rebels. Nope. They are the Empire who want to control everything - it doesn't matter if it is intended to be for your own good - it is still coercive and liberty destroying.

Blindness and delusion keeps the control freak Leftist thinking they are the good guys fighting the Empire. They cannot see they are the evil empire, they cannot see their political opponents are the rebels with Diversity of Opinion (the only diversity that actually matters). Thus, they don't understand why the masses LOVED the films. Hence, they clumsily destroy the fundamental appeal of the tale, because they are just too blind and stupid to understand the true nature of the story (just as they are too blind and stupid to see the true nature of the system they want to impose using State force on everyone else).

Until Hollywood groks this then every Star Wars story will fall vastly short of the original trilogy. All the other stuff in the milieu is window dressing on top of this fundamental theme.

Once you see this it becomes obvious about the true nature of the original trilogy and how you'd re-capture its spirit. But Leftists are unable to see this. You'd need a Conservative or Libertarian screenwriter to get the sentiments just right (stealing ideas from historical events just as George Lucas did).
