Star Wars is a global phenomenon, but it has always been undeniably American. Maybe it’s the story of rebellion and hope, maybe it’s the influence taken from Westerns, maybe it’s just the homegrown accents of Luke, Han, and Leia.
But behind those elements is a story that is classic no matter where — or when — you are, influenced by stories from all over the world. It is, after all, a story from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Now, Star Wars is recognizable no matter where you are, even in the era of the sequels and The Mandalorian.
