Unpopular opinion I know, but Star Wars is bad enough on its own.

I think The Empire Strikes Back is a genuinely good movie even if the real intended audience is teen boys. And the rest of the films range from shit to ok. And The prequels are the kind of bad films you wish were better instead of just hating them, science fiction epic on the slide of liberal democracy into fascism with the jedi as the revered yet ultimately harmful milquetoast liberals would have been significant piece of popular culture but nah, apparently. You can see this with the Darth Jar Jar theorizing which hit upon something real (even if fans took it so edgily) too: I genuinely think Jar Jar was meant to represent 'wu wei' (a concept in Chinese philosophy) which could have been really interesting thing to see, but no-one could have gotten that out of the movies.
