what i'm getting out of this is that George Lucas is someday going to release a loose adaption of The Yiddish Policemen's Union that takes place in space
There are a few good points in that article, but they end up getting lost in a soup of "I am shocked, shocked that a big-budget Hollywood tentpole may actually lean somewhat to the right". I don't think anyone's going to drop everything and start oppressing minorities just because of Star Wars; indeed, complaining about that while handwaving (or outright ignoring) all of the actual fascist propaganda that's being spewed out by various people these days isn't a good look :P
Star Wars in its Campbell-ness by design hits at a lot of things (more or less) fundamentally appealing to people. The unfortunate side effect is that sometimes the wrong people like it. It happens.
I'm thinking about the section about Ode to Joy from The Pervert's Guide to Ideology.
