Star Wars is particularly good at tailoring its villains to what people of the time fear most: in the late 70âs/early 80âs, it was faceless, militaristic dictators, in the late 90âs/early 00âs it was shady politicians who seize power questionably and then immediately start wars with murky ulterior motives, and in the 10âs, itâs twentysomething white men with no self-control.
