“The message of Lucas\u2019s Star Wars prequel films is much more difficult and challenging than the original Star Wars trilogy: It shows that the path of apparent \u201cgood and evil\u201d in politics and society is a very convoluted one, involving many reversals and surprising twists of fate \u2014 one might even say that it is \u201cdialectical.\u201d It is \u201cbeyond good and evil\u201d and not at all ever what it first appears to be. This is a lesson from the Boomer experience of the 20th century\u2019s dramatic wars and revolutions that the Millennial generation, as viewers in their youth, were not adequately prepared to receive let alone contemplate from Lucas\u2019s films \u2014 and remain deaf and blind to today. Even as they stand at the precipice of learning it now.<\/p>\n
The proleptic foreshadowing of Empire and its Galactic Civil War of the Rebellion, as given in the late Republic universe depiction of Lucas\u2019s Star Wars prequel trilogy films and associated [Clone Wars<\/em>] animated television series, their portrayal of cynical bureaucratic maneuvering and duplicitous \u201cdemocratic\u201d processes and forebodingly empty political rhetoric, bears attentive if disturbingly prescient reconsideration now. For the crisis is not \u201clong, long ago and in a galaxy far, far away,\u201d but is manifestly at hand today.” – Chris Cutrone<\/a>.<\/p>\n Friday 26th April<\/strong> Mayday Rooms<\/a> Class Wargames will be playing Arty’s Clone Wars Game with 6mm sci-fi figurines by Irregular Miniatures<\/a> and Brigade Models<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Class Wargames will be using Arty’s Clone Wars Game rules<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
