“Andor” Star Wars depicts the danger of American fascism

In the first three parts of Andrew Chapter 2, which began broadcasting in Disney on April 22, takes us one of many exhibition plans to Mina Rio, an agricultural planet on the exterior margin of the stars war, where a group of rebel soldiers appear as independent mechanics. This group includes Bix (Adria Arjona), a fugitive wanted in Mina Rio without the necessary paper. Therefore, when a box of imperial soldiers arrives to carry out a “unpublished census”, Bix is ​​anxious.

“If they examine the visa, this is a problem,” he says.

One of the local farmers responds: “Look, they need seeds.” “They know that we need help, and they know that everyone is not legal. How difficult their appearance is, what they are doing – 10 years have passed since the last review, no one happy.”

In the next section, the rebels betray the empire, remembering how difficult it is to do the right thing in the face of the authoritarian power.

For Kempshall, AndrewThe biggest innovation is the way to expose the “popular elements of fascism”. We all know that the two labels are evil, but with the clarification of this series, it is the ordinary people who do their only work – doing documents and implementing security – which makes it possible in the first place.

He says: “These are those who kick your door or change the rules at 3 am.” “They are the true face of the empire. It looks natural, very and boring. The truth is the increase in cruelty.”

The tradition of stars war is due to highlighting American imperialism.

Lucas was supposed to be directed before the creation of the Star War The end of the world now For his friend, Oscar -winning director, Francis Ford Coppola. But after the film became the hell and was destroyed, Lucas took the Vietnam War and turned it into space and turned Viet Kong into a rebel unit, and the Rajaj Army of Freedom Fighters involved in the guerrilla war against a fierce armed empire and genocide.

This is only what made it the final version of the movie.

“In the first draft of what Star WarsLucas was very clear about how America betrayed, which fell in fascism. “

When Lucas returned to the Star Wars Galaxy after a 16 -year -old break to take a prequel trilogy, he had a different metaphor. Issued in 1999, a year ago before President George W. Bush, Star Wars: Part One – Phantom’s threat The symbolism of how democracies collapsed is dictatorship, and thanks to the desire for power, its power is generated to strong, with all the equivalent of Julius Caesar to Napoleon Bonaparte. .

But even finished Revenge from Seth (2005) Lucas drew his attention to President Bush. Near the end of the movie, the corrupt Skywalker resorted to his old friend Obi Wan Kinopi and screams: “If you were not with me, you are my enemy,” is an unknown sign of the Iraq war that immediately compares the threat of Bush: “You are with us or American terrorists.”

After the poor completion, Lucas has declined from stars for decades, and in the end she sells Disney’s right to vote. Skywalker Saga returned 30 years later Serious return (1983). In 2015 The force has been awakenedThe remains of the empire were first fixed, which completely derives the features of Nazism with its red flags and angry and angry leaders.

According to the camp, the reason for this change towards Nazi general metaphor is more about politics and more communication with modern cultural Zeitgeist.

“Vietnam is no longer a major stone for pop culture,” he says. “So the empire may need an evolution to transfer evil.”

Certainly in 2015, a year before President Donald Trump was true, but after a decade, Zeitgeist changed again. Like the seventies of the last century during the reign of Richard Nixon or the beginning of the first decade of the twentieth century under Bush, America fades towards fascism. In a sudden return, the stars war is here to reflect this political reality.
