Star Wars Sociology
Star Wars fulfils the Sociology function, By representing a social class and showing terms of wealth as in who has the most power. People for centuries have set up a social classes based on; Strength, Money, Parents, and your accomplishments. A lot of this system is flawed because what it intends to do is to keep the poor poor unless they know how to use their talent and increase their standing amongst the people.
