PREVIEW: The Star Wars Prequels Are Great, Actually
Dr. Nima Parvini, academic and author who defends the Star Wars prequels, offers a revisionist political reading of the films. He frames Palpatine as purposeful statecraft and reads the trilogy as a study of institutional decline. Short, sharp takes cover Jedi atrophy, Anakin’s complexity, Qui‑Gon’s alternative ideals, and how fandom shapes our judgments.
