Feel similar for Star Wars. I gave the sequels a few shots but ultimately don't really care about them. However, the transition era between the Republic and the Galactic Empire echoes what is happening in the US this second.

I was (re)watching Clone Wars around the start of the year while making plans with my partner to leave our friends and flee the country. The way the Jedi Council treated Ahsoka towards the end while ushering in an era of fascism hit especially hard this time around.
