Return to Crisis, Leviathan, and the Revenge of the Sith

Star Wars (#61770)

The original episode came out in the late '70s when the American Empire had suffered a great defeat. In the five episodes since, the Empire has made a spectacular recovery, while the opposition to Empire is weaker than ever before. So? How much influence has Lucas' work really had other than as media entertainment?
