    Was this theory developed after Star Wars was already released?

    Even if it was, using media to explain ideas of politics isn't new nor is it bad. Like how is using Star Trek or Star Wars or any other piece of media that the public is familiar with on a cultural level inherently a "Gotcha!" to an argument/debate?

    "Hey this book that was taught in classrooms has some parallels to current events." "Wow, you're using your understandings of the world around you to make commentary? Weirdo."

    Everything you said can be true, and it can also still sound like a cringe LARP.

    That just sounds like you think people who can critically analyze media and the world suck. You must be a very boring person to have a conversation with, I can tell from this brief interaction.

    No critical analysis of Star Wars has happened in this thread yet.

    I'm sure if you keep calling those who do as LARPers, it will surely encourage such dialogue.

    Very convenient of you to mentally gymnastics the explanation of how it's my fault that other people cannot engage in critical media analysis.
