To those complaining that Star Wars has gotten too liberal

But the story wasn't sacrificed for the sake of the political similarities.

The master race concept was never in the films, but in the EU books. The Emperor did not look human too, but alien. Palpatine's rise according to Lucas was (very remotely) inspired by historic examples such as Hitler '33, or J Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte and other dictators. The only link to Bush was "You are either with me or my enemy" in III.
 
Apart from that, the only sociopolitical agenda in the Lucas 6 was that they included blacks an other races in the OT after SW was a merely white sausage fest, and maybe a silly Vietnam reference with the Endor battle. The PT followed that example.

But unlike with the ST these things were never at the forefront: Things like "The Force is female" direction (as the only visible direction except for rehash) are preposterous. This is just not how the Force works.

 

For once i agree with you. That's a first...

I could do with a little less pandering politically and more interesting story telling with interesting characters.

Unfortunately that's not what we've been getting with the Sequel trilogy (so far, still got one film left)

TLJ was the only Disney SW film that overtly too liberal, the others were a bit more subtle

That's not to say that KK and crew didn't push these agendas off screen, they did.

The OT and PT had subtle messages and a subtle political commentary in the background. TLJ was very obvious and preachy with a forced message.

That's why it has worked before, but didn't work this time.

The words "subtle" and "Star Wars" do not belong in the same sentence together.

Ah, but there is a major difference.  I have no problem with girl power, in fact, I applaud it.  But in the OT, Leia's heroism doesn't come at the expense of the male characters.  Their failures are situational and she capitalizes.  They are also shown to have the top moments of heroism later in the film, so this point is totally invalid.

Wrong.  Leia isn't even anywhere in the top 5 of the command chain in ANH.  Mothma doesn't even make an appearance.  The Alliance, as far as what we are shown in ANH, is also a "white sausage fest."  Generals Willard and Dodonna, Gold and Red Leaders:  all white men.  Even when Mothma hits the scene late in the trilogy, she's still white.  There was no diversity in the original trilogy PERIOD.  That has nothing to do with its political messages (or in this case, total lack thereof) and instead reflects the lack of diversity in Hollywood during the time period in which it was made.

Wrong again.  Finn heroically and immediately rejects the FO in TFA thereby immediately annihilating any association the audience may have that a black man is being portrayed as a villain. His backstory then goes on to further reinforce this. 

This is also false.  Padme was not elected for sheer awesomeness.  She was elected because was a member of one of the elder families on Naboo.  Plain and simple.  Which, of course is the exact opposite of a liberal theme (and mimics Leia's own rise to power through royal pedigree, but proves her worth in battle motif).


The Ewoks symbolized toy sales, nothing more.  Everyone knows that.  The only other valid point about the Ewoks is that they served as a surprise element to Palpatine's seemingly invincible power of foresight.  As the Gungans, I suggest you go back and watch the scene again where the group of multiracial humans bow and apologize to them.  Also, no one (being taken seriously on this board) is complaining about Rose because she's Asian.  Those of us making legit gripes about the character are doing so because the character sucked.  She would have sucked as a white male, too.

I have never found Star Wars to be liberal.
