But what worries me is that every story has an agenda, whether political or otherwise, and for a myth to live on, it necessarily reflects the values/concerns of its culture. If Star Wars ignored the color of our times, it would risk becoming a museum piece, sterile and lifeless. There's no need to re-make the OT vibe, since those movies exist timelessly to be watched over and over again. New Star Wars has to tell stories for our time and our culture. People criticized the OT for doing many of the same things in the 70's/80's--Lucas had a very liberal point of view in the first film, which reflected his 'hippie' Southern California upbringing and education. So can we blame today's filmmakers/storytellers from doing the same thing?
