    No real world politics crammed into it

    My guy the original trilogy was about the Vietnam War that was literally happening in the 1970s when New Hope was released, the prequel trilogy was about the neoliberal stagnation and subsequent war on terror in the late 90s and early 2000s, the sequel trilogy is the one devoid of cultural relevance to any ongoing events and it suffered because it wasn’t relevant to anyone.
