Just went to see the new star wars talking about the start of Han Solo. I'm going to list out some of my observations of the movie, because I think the characters don't really matter as much as the message the movie was trying to say about the current state of the world. Don't read if you get triggered by spoilers.
So Han goes through his experiences of 'the system' to find his way out of it. He enlists in the military thinking that was the right way out but he was met with the horrific experience of war.
The (debt-based) empire was fighting against (another country) to take their resources. The system was tough and unforgiving, and so when he expressed his free thought he was tossed into the pit to die. He befriends Chewbacca (who really wants the same freedom).
They are then led on a mission to capture the (gold) from a freight train to feed the empire and are met with opposition looking to take it (back?). Commander loses his girl and the (gold) explodes, so then they have to go to the real boss (the man at the top) and try and negotiate taking it again from somewhere else -- the (gold) mines.
So it's a pretty scary world that they painted out, and I feel that it's a very accurate portrayal of the real world. We have an empire build on debt that attacks and destroys entire countries for their natural resources to consolidate power up to the central banks, home of the richest men in the world. It seems inescapable trying to avoid their power, since they use the power of death to control others. Han ignores this and continues his path of resisting this evil force in the world.
It's really interesting though, because he knew his way out into freedom. He wanted to work his part, get some real money, and then be free.
Well yes, real money is gold and silver, and that's why I've replaced some things of the movie into their real-world reps. I believe only the woke people in the theater really understood the message behind some of what they were saying.
So Han, commander and some extras go to the mines, where they also mention the horrible conditions of how they were, yet the importance because "that's where the money is." They get the pieces and head on out.
They reach back to the man at the top with the gold. Han's girl reappears since she rose through the debt-based system high enough to still have a relevant part in the movie and became corrupted along the way.
More movie happens, betrayals and such. Han's girl floats to the top and becomes the woman at the top, only slave to (Satan himself). You hear a lot of talk about free will in the movie, from that one robot that was only resurrected because of her map of the galaxy, to Han's and that one girl with the crew's spirit, and you hear about "submission or death" from Commander and Han's girl.
So we're all caught up. Han says "fuck you" to the system and takes his ship flying through the galaxy, Han's girl sold her soul and is helping (the devil) gain more control of the world, and Commander takes his profits and goes on his merry way.
Real money brings freedom and we're not very far away from this debt-based fiat and the 'everything bubble' collapsing from under us. Whoever has the assets win, and we know the smart ones are doing whatever they can now.
Thankfully the director may have been doing his part to wake us up. There's a real battle going on and it starts with you getting educated.
