Idk if it’s a replacement so much as inevitable, complianct democracy leads to faccism, both in star wars and the real world. Ancient jedi teaching and flawed founding fathers constitution mean nothing when there is a tiered power structure. Without justice for the subjacted and endless wealth to the subjactor, there is an endless cycle of righteous rebellion kept in check by all of the resources of wealth, it’s an endless boiling point.
The answer is raise the floor and lower the ceiling, drastically. But so long as money = power, those with wealth will did all they can to maintain hegemony. Even if that just invariably kicks the can down to a more explosive rebellion / boot to the neck. Democracy was never equipped to deal with class warfare, hell, you weren’t even a person in revolution America if you didn’t hold land.
Luke is the modern neoliberalism order trying to make incrimental change to a system that needs to be scrapped and restarted.
What’s weird is that I have never interacted or read the comments to thus sub. So idk, whatever, I’m a cliche. But its evidently a common take, so feels super random that people got so weird about it, I went to sleep with this comment +10 and sorta suprsied that it got flagged for deleting because of downvotes.
Oh sure, that makes sense. I guess this is an perspective thing and you’re welcome to call me a huge dork. But idk, just feel like basic media literacy if you watch the whole series. 😂

Same, I’m not a massive nerd on Star Wars, but it’s a very common take on Youtube videos that get a little bit deep into Star Wars lore.
