‘Star Wars’ and Slavery: A Quandary Awakens
If you’re opposed to slavery, is it OK to still like “Star Wars”? It’s a question I’ve been wrestling with ever since Jonathan Last, a friend and writer at the Weekly Standard, pointed out to me that the “droids” in the “Star Wars” movies are slaves.

I’d hoped to be persuaded otherwise when I went to see the “The Force Awakens.” No such luck.
