Potentially equally testing has been the return of Trump to the White House. Has there any imperative from Lucasfilm to adjust the depiction of the Empire in light of a presidency that could be seen to mirror it?

honestly want the show to be timeless. My characters are based more on Trotsky than Trump. I’m fascinated by revolutions. If I tried to sell a movie script about a young revolutionary dying for the cause, no-one’s going to back me. In fact, I’m trying to get a $40 million movie made right now; everybody loves the script, but they all say it’s really original. So, I’m f----d. But if you tell it as Star Wars, you have a place to play.”

An absolutely incredible movie could be made about the rise and tragic fall of Trotsky.

Don’t know what the fuck this guy’s on about, though

I think he just liked the alliteration of the phrase "more Trotsky than Trump," though it's also an apt description.

The main cast is mostly revolutionaries, and the main antagonists are middle managers with coherent (if awful) worldviews. Powerful idiots don't play a big part in this show

What about Palpatine's 180% tariff on the Wookiees?

What about the flame thrower attack on the Geonosians?
