Will Brooker provides a close analysis of 'Star Wars' as a film and argues that it represented a continuation rather than a departure from director George Lucas's early, experimental work. Brooker argues that Lucas is drawn both to the order and control of the Empire, and the energy and creativity of the Rebels.
