The Empire Triumphant: Race, Religion and Rebellion in the Star Wars Films
|
| | | This work focuses on the themes, influences and cultural subtexts of the Star Wars series. The first topic of this multifaceted examination is how the films use the language of colonialism ("The" Rebellion, "The" Empire) to emphasize the idea of imperialism. Next the author looks at how Asian influences provide a subtext for much of the action. The discussion then turns to the representation of people of color in the Star Wars universe, and how other ethnicities are represented overall, particularly through the literalization of the word "aliens."
