The rebels having a time limit to destroy the Death Star before it destroys a planet would be too similar to what happened in A New Hope. The Ewoks were added to make a political message regarding the Vietnam War, so if you hate the Ewoks, you can thank George Lucas for focusing too much on political messaging.

@@justinmadrid8712 Hi there. I was aware of the Vietnam analogy from an interview with Lucas. Stating that tbe Superior US was held in check by a technically inferior force. I see no problem with that. STAR TREK has been doing that successfully for decades without putting today's biased slant into everything. STAR WARS was originally going to have trained Wookies fly the rebel ships to destroy the DEATH STAR TM, but Lucas altered the story (maybe Gary Kurtz). I have no beef with the concept, but bloody teddy bears? I was 16 when Jedi came out. It was okay, but bogged down on Endor and Han Solo acted more like Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica. At 16 I was not impressed with the Ewoks, although I would give clemency to them at a firing squad over Jar Jar. Jar Jar!

@@spitfiremark1a768 Yes I have no real issue with political allegories either. The problem is, when you prioritize political messages over telling a good story, it almost always ends up hurting the story. Your focus MUST be on telling a good story first, and political messages should be more of an afterthought. George Lucas was told multiple times that the Ewoks defeating the Empire with rocks was a stupid idea. But George Lucas INSISTED that the Ewoks remain in the script, because he was dead set on his political message. As you can see, we got teddy bears killing stormtroopers with rocks. I believe in women's rights just as much as you. I believe women should be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want, and wherever they want. But the Feminist political messaging has destroyed multiple franchises for the past 5 years. Because their main focus is on girl power messaging, rather than telling a good story. I have not seen Star Trek, but I have heard that the old Star Trek did political allegories very well. So perhaps it is the exception to the general rule.

@@justinmadrid8712 Original TREK and most of TNG is really good along with the first 6 films. There are some strong messages in TREK but it is not in your face like in so much new sci fi that has to push "the message". Film is replete with great female characters. We can state Ripley in Alien/s and of course Princess Leia or Sara Connor in sci fi. They are good without us being told that they are good. They are written well and acted with sincerity. They don't weigh 8lb wet and take down men weighing 250lb. I only really watch STAR WARS and TESB. Not really into anything else connected with it. I have been disappointed with most of it, although I am watching Kenobi with my son and am, to be quite honest enjoying it.
