I'm honestly curious in what that ideology that Lucas pushed in the OG Trilogy was.

 

In that interview George basically says that the original trilogy was designed to be anti-authoritarian and was influenced by the Vietnam War, specifically how America was the authoritarian state attacking the little guy, Vietnam, that the Vietnamese managed to repel using guerrilla warfare, much like how the Rebels used guerrilla warfare to defeat the Authoritarian Empire. So yeah, there was some political agenda there, but I personally don't think it was anywhere near as overt as the political agenda in TLJ.

Cool beans, yeah I noted earlier how Lucas managed to do it with quite a bit of subtlety as opposed to the "LOOK AT OUR STRONG FEMALE LEAD; WE HAVE A BLACK STORMTROOPER; *Poe is gay?* UH, I MEAN YEAH, HE IS; LANDO IS ALSO PANSEXUAL BECAUSE WHY NOT; HOW FUCKING DARE YOU QUESTION REY, YOU MISOGYNISTIC , NECK-BEARED BASEMENT DWELLER!"
