@vgr Having at last watched The Last Jedi, I'd like to challenge your analysis. Isn't it a rather charming Roundheads vs Cavaliers battle? In the words of 1006 & All That the Roundheads were right but repulsive, and the Cavaliers were wrong but romantic

Sorry - that's a failure of British to US culture. My fault. The basic idea was that the Royalist side in the English civil war had style, charm etc. But they were also absolutist politically. etc. And Parliament were the opposite .https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1066_and_All_That …

It's a cousin to Terry Pratchett's idea: 'If cats looked like frogs we'd realise what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That's what people remember.'
