Fear mask is the book of stars war for the political moment

Alexander Farid wrote some of Most convincing books to Star Wars“Modern era, but I do not think this makes it psychological. It will be easy to describe the strange sense of stencils of a book like the end, Fear maskAt the present time, in time, in the first months of the second Trump administration – although no one could create a prediction of the ways that it could predict examination of the first weeks of the establishment of the Hungarian Empire, it can plan to design news and the main addresses we see every day.

But this will not be completely honest – I am sure that liberation, like many of us, has not seen half of the things we heard about in the next few weeks, in the most specific senses. It will not be justice Fear maskThe first in a trilogy of novels across a trilogy of authors due to the release during the next few years, to do so as well. In fact, freed does something simply Star Wars I have always done, Set a course in politics This speaks and reflects in countless ways, the American empire in various decline cases.

This was the goal of the series from the beginning, from Lucas -intended similarities Between the guerrilla war warfare in the rebel coalition and the Vietnam War – which calls the empire itself on American interests – the methods that a trilogy previously studied a corrupt government raped and changed, although the war and other means, in the event of a fascist monitoring at the height of the war on terror. It was a goal behind him, interested in the same way Star Wars Now, with contemporary stories like Ahsokaand AndorAnd Mandaluri Everything was reflected in some small ways Repeated political nature From its world, and how it can alternately be associated with America between liberal and conservative forces.

In some respects, it will not be completely fair or honest Fear mask to Star Wars The text that has been compared more since announced for the first time, mentioned above Andor. Yes, he definitely focuses on the characters who got highlighting in that excellent series (in the form of Mon Motherma and saw Gerrera, who, along with Bail Organa, are the three basic columns mask He builds himself around him), and certainly raises the darker and institutional tone for political ideals.

But it would be fair to say that Andor and mask Treating a similar idea from a very different context perspective. Andor Her story begins just 5 years ago from events Roge one and New hope: The empire is entrenched as an actual ruling power of the galaxy, its grip is tightening, and the resistance structures that we see are destroyed under that grip are the factions that we do not meet in its most emerging forms. They are not the organized resistance that would offer a civil war war so far, but they have been fighting the empire in one way or another for a long time.

Fear mask Sitting at the opposite end of this time spectrum. It was seized just weeks after the end Revenge from SethThe empire itself is hardly more than a name and a set of executive procedures from Palpatine, the book is concerned with exploring two specific ideas: What seems that there is an authoritarian system that suddenly accelerates into power from the back of populism, and what can seem to be any kind of uniform progress in this seizure On the energy in the initial model, where people start slowly but steadily realize what they are already dealing with.

There are naturally elements of spying and clinging to all elementary brackets of books-which collects political support in the Imperial Senate for a draft law that tries to link the executive authority of Palpatine, and the guarantee that seeks desperate to reveal the truth about the destruction of the destruction of Jedi, He saw the confrontation of a former sleeping agent who was calculated in a new resistance to the previous republic. but Fear mask It is, in essence, an intense political book.

What does that mean not necessarily this Fear mask Trading secret work scenes for a strict discussion about politics. But instead, regardless of the narration column we focus on – or a handful of new characters that are woven through these stories to provide their own visions and views in this wonderful period of Star WarsTable –Fear mask Deeply interested in people’s policy, building alliance, and ethics that are reshape or received as part of the essential essentials to create a coherent movement.

All three columns Fear mask In the end they intersect, but although we know that at some point on bail, everything will be in a state of alliance with each other for some time, the most determined in this book is the very realistic meaning that they are all individuals who have similar, but goals and beliefs Different. However, Freed determines maturity in his writings and descriptions that are not afraid of reducing these divisions, and pushing these characters or collecting them in unexpected ways.

These main perspectives in the book are all different aspects of the rebellion where we will get to know them. MON still has political systems and procedures regardless of their corruption in the republic’s vicinity or rape of Palpatine. Others look at the guarantee and sometimes on their own as very blind to expose the truth about the 66th matter, so that it may be foolish enough to believe that it is just breaking the issue will put the two bars forever (Farid never pushes the sponsorship enough to the direct direct parallel how some view People to Robert Muller’s investigation in interfering in the 2016 US presidential election, but there is definitely there reverberation From this, as there are echoes of contemporary American policy throughout the book). SAW, although it can be said that the least approval of the trio in this particular part of the trilogy, it is already in the process of its extremism towards extremist work as it is the only one corresponding point to extreme tyranny, regardless of the cost.

Fear mask At its best when it comes to exploring these different opinions, and reaching a point that can be manufactured in an alliance of resistance. Palpatine may be a ghost remaining on the entire book, but it is not present, and overcomes a group of heroes to confront and defeat. The conflict instead is either internally because these political opinions and beliefs leak, or about much smaller battles, ultimately work on the simple choice if compliance or does not even comply with a fixed precedent along the way.

This is the last feeling that might resonate with the masses more, especially concern about The current situation of the United States. Although the similarities may feel in particular, read this in here, and now, again, Freed is not written from a point of perception – and does not write his writing enough as circumstances require that Mon Mothma convert to the reader and said blue “voting” regardless For whom the home point hammer. Fear mask It revolves around America in 2025 as much as it comes to the country as it was in 2016, as was in 2001, in 2001, in the 1980s and 1970 .

The least story may be simply referred to towards the current situation of the world, and the proverb played “so freedom dies” a section of Revenge from SethAnd leave it there, but Fear mask He is much smarter. What Freed explores in this book, through a framework Star Wars“Founded history and political infrastructure, are the ideas that resonated throughout the concession from the beginning. By doing this through a mature lens – through the characters, although we know their destinies in the end, are still somewhat early on its trips to Those fate that can be explored in great depths – weave a story that exceeds its similarities to the world outside our windows, but the world that is still deeply enriched by them.

The most interesting and most suitable for this book at the time, as the first in a trilogy and its broader perspective Star WarsA battle against fascism, Fear mask It is not really a book with a certain end. The threads are certain, for sure, but we, the audience and the story, know that this is just the beginning of the movement of contracts in its manufacture. There is no clear evil that must be in this book, but instead in recognition of acceptance: this resistance takes time, and the alliances of the buildings require, it requires courage to defend what you really believe in a world in the world of dangerous Joyce from populism, the attractiveness of authoritarianism, And any of them is not easy.

Star Wars Of course, sometimes the luxurious imagination is allowed to be unique and open to confrontation and defeat, and there is joy in that. but Fear mask It is pronounced in a world that lacks, at the present time, to this – and for all its dark shadows, it finds a great deal of light in mind that the battle must be fought anyway.
