Stephen Kent, author of How The Force Can Fix The World, live at FreedomFest in Las Vegas @ The Mirage Hotel & Casino. Speaking on the main stage to the political conference about the powerful politics and anti-authoritarian message of Star Wars.
Star Wars NEVER made a great case in defense of democracy, in fact George Lucas dismissed it in favor of "benevolent dictatorship." And he was right. That system is more effective. Until it isn’t.
In this short speech by Stephen Kent you’ll get the message of what Star Wars is really about. It’s not a weapon to be used by Democrats or Republicans, or liberals or conservatives. It’s a series of movies about the perils of CONTROL. Star Wars is a warning to you. Not just your opponents. About our latent totalitarian instincts. The instincts Anakin Skywalker couldn’t overcome and Padme Amidala ignored in him. We can do better.
