Well said. Metaphors express the individual, society, and their place within it. Art conveys what is beyond words. Art must evolve to express new metaphors and symbolism and inform society as life evolves.

"Star Wars has a valid mythological perspective. It shows the state as a machine and asks, “Is the machine going to crush humanity or serve humanity?” Humanity comes not from the machine but from the heart…when Luke Skywalker unmasks his father, he is taking off the machine role that the father has played… he’s a bureaucrat, living not in terms of himself but in terms of an imposed system."

– The Power of Myth, Joseph Campbell with Bill Moyers
