Star Wars will lose it's relevancy in our lifetime
people will lose interest if there's nothing worth being interested in
i can't believe he dropped the ball on the prequels man. another 3 classic star wars films?
wow that would have boosted it's relevancy for another three generations EASILY
think of all the characters, weapons, planets, scenes, lines...all the classic top tier **** that was in the classic films. That's the stuff that's been constantly referenced in pop culture and in conversation since the franchise debuted in '77
there's basically none of that in the prequels. So, less pop culture will spawn off the newer ****, and that means less people will be familiar with star wars. people can't just live off the original three films forever. It's not something that's easy to enjoy like the Beatles catalog or something. Film is entirely different.
God, it's insane. I hope he tries again with three other films, this time with competent top tier directors.
Would you consider the Continental Congress and Washington a terrorist? They were fighting for their freedom to abolish unjust rule.
The Empire was a galaxy-wide tyranny under the dictatorship of Palpatine. The Imperial Senate was disbanded and the Death Star was built in order to keep every star system in check. I don't think the colloquial usage of terrorism would make sense to describe the Rebel Alliance.
And Star Wars will never lose relevancy. The Force, Yoda, Darth Vader, "I am your father", Stormtroopers, John William's iconic music, etc. will always withstand.

I just re-watched all the Star wars movies and i have to say that the senate and people got what they deserved by being petty and bureaucratic rather then dealing with actual concerns of the people.

I do all the time. It is how real world government and politics became relevant to me which gave me an understanding of how faulty the system was. The school would have done a better job at educating me if they showed Star Wars senate scenes rather then boring books on government.
None. Every Imperial=Evil. Fact. Even Todd, the janitor.
Star Wars will lose its cultural significance around the end of the 21st century. Lucas will die and copyright doors will open wide, flooding the various markets with new Star Wars crap. Within 80 years the last of the current generation of fans will have died off, and their children will have moved on to newer, cooler franchises of the day. 2090--gonna be a good year.

The Star Wars EU features a book detailing how the Empire contracted out to bartenders, chefs, and common bouncers to work in the Death Star off-duty lounges.
All dead.
But through their sacrifice, they're with Allah the Force, now.

I actually think that if someone is part of the war machine complex they are fair game as a target from: Dorah the lunch lady to Bob the mechanic and Jose the Laborer.
I dont really see the Empire as Evil as they seemed more like order and stability to the galaxy. although how the emperor came to power was criminal but so long as he took care of the citizens with standard living and basics, I actually prefer the Empire over the Rebel Alliance.
