War Quotes by Cass Sunstein

Cass Sunstein

Even though Star Wars is easily read as feminist for its time – and even for now, with Princess Leia’s role – people wouldn’t make a movie like that in 2016, where the guys are mostly the tough ones, and the women aren’t in positions of authority.

Great works – and I think Star Wars is a great work – are easily susceptible to multiple plausible interpretations. Some of them are pretty nutty, but the idea that we should see it as profoundly feminist, or as a deeply Christian tale, or as a Freudian exercise… I think all of those have some truth.

My friend jewelry designer Courtney Crangi has been obsessed with Star Wars all her life and has seen the movies 150 times. When we first started talking about it, I was amazed that her knowledge made mine – which was even then pretty impressive – seem pathetic. And I think there are a couple of reasons for this. One is that the leader of the rebellion is Princess Leia. American theatergoers had never seen a princess like that. She’s not a delicate flower, she’s not passive, she’s often the only one who has a clue.

The hero of the beloved Star Wars trilogy is Luke. The principle dynamic is the complicated relationship between Luke and his father. Not coincidentally, George Lucas’ last name sounds a lot like Luke. That’s the one he identified with. George Lucas had a tumultuous relationship with his own father, and people who know him say that you can’t understand the backstory of the movies without knowing that his dad was occasionally difficult but also very loving. They had a big break between them. In those movies, he’s very focused on sons and fathers.

The sky is always falling or the sky is always bright. In some ways, this is really morning in America and we don’t see it. People are living longer, the economy is doing pretty well. On the other hand, there are some ways of thinking in the current situation that make it look not so good, including our Star Wars prequels – like legislature, meaning they’re talking a lot, not doing a lot.

Well, I’ve liked Star Wars since the late ’70s. I liked it a lot.

Whatever your gender, you can be a Star Wars fan. Of course I knew it from life before, but the core of enthusiastic female fans is a testimony to the non-gendered nature of the audience.
