    I’m a diehard Lucas apologist…but also a diehard tweaker and editor of movies and I unironically think the biggest missed opportunity of some of the prequels was how they could have really leaned into a dissection/commentary on the original films transparent black and white aesthetics of good and evil.

    Like: at the end of attack of the clones there’s a small reprise and hint of the Imperial march and I absolutely get why its there…but I still believe it was the wrong choice. I wish they had played it more like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TouCl6yp13A

    Cause yay! The troops are off to war to stop the evil insurrectionists!

    Now, especially living in america, I think its kind of amazing how much people can only start to recognize fascism when the aesthetics of fascism start to take hold.
