Star Wars (the original trilogy) wasn’t about war. It wasn’t about peace either. The theme of Star wars (what it was actually about), was the redemption of Anakin Skywalker. Everything that happened in the trilogy was simply to service that arc.

1ST. Are you talking about the movies 1-3 or original movies by release date 4-6? I can only assume you are talking about movies 1-6, since Anakin & his arc (from Anakin to ‘Darth Vader’ to Anakin, last breaths of him) was in all of them. Which makes what G. Lucas said makes no sense. Nice try, G. Lucas! I was not born yesterday, but I was a huge fan, until discovered that violence & wars are the reason ‘Star Wars’ became famous. Strip that out & not enough people care about any of the movies, because scripts fall apart.
If I could get G. Lucas to take my question serious:
Why did not the rebels Non-Violent protest-activism to achieve their shortest term of “peace” or however one wants to call it? Like equally outmatched, if not even more, Indigenous people of the country of India (lead by Mahatma Gandhi) VS UK & The Black/African-American people, in The USA, (lead by Martin Luther King Jr.) winning some USA Constitutional Civil Rights VS the racist USA (including most of the politicians) which both used only Non-Violent protests-activism.
