Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars, also Star Wars. So, what the hey, I thought I’d jump on the hype and do a little link list of my pieces on the franchise over the years.
Star Wars and the 4 Ways Science Fiction handles race.
Star Wars’ Original Scum-Caked Brilliance.
The Star Wars reboot and how Hollywood sci-fi doesn’t care about the future.
Slave Leia as uneasy sexual fantasy (about Han Solo)
Star Wars and a universe without women.
Star Wars and a universe with boring gender roles (or, let Octavia Butler write Star Wars)
Lupita Nyong’o, Star Wars, and keeping black actors off-screen
And, finally, why the Force Awakens will probably suck.
I’m so burned out on hype/Original Trilogy Nostalgia that I don’t even have an appetite for Star Wars anti-hype/nostalgia anymore.
Oh man, somebody should get JJ Abrams to the ICU after the epic flamethrower broadside in that last article! Damn!
