Reading Response 5/30

Question:
Is it fair for the author to make such big assumptions about George Lucas and his intentions when directing star wars when he can't stand up for himself and defend his actions?

It seems like the author of the article about Star Wars and farming introduced the topic in a way in which he would make parallels with George Lucas' life growing up on a farm and how those principles are present in the movie Star Wars. I was surprised when this quickly changed to the author making assumptions about the characters present in Star Wars. While these assumptions can be made in certain settings this article did not introduce the topic very well for my liking. I felt like the author just bashed the stereotypes that were present in the star wars movies and the characters. You can look into anything and find something bad about it and i feel like that is what this author did. He was too critical for my liking and it did not seem like the author respected George Lucas and his artistic freedoms he took in star wars. I don't think George Lucas had these intentions in his characters and they were too critically looked at by the author of this article.
