Who would have thought that in 1977, Star Wars still would be impacting today’s culture. I was greatly influenced by Star Wars because of my uncle whom became an expert of the entire franchise.

Fives’s last words were,” I only wanted to do my duty”. Their duty came before

These disney movies really do (usually) have men in lead and more powerful rolls, have women as the weaker rolls, often mothering and having to bow down to their male co-characters. These movies have minority cultures in weaker and lower class rolls. Male characters abuse or talk down to women and children. These are just a few examples but again, I was shocked and it was eye opening. I realize this article wasn’t supposed to be viewed until week 3 but for some…
