Quote: “I think the arc of history is long, and it bends toward justice. And I think that’s what the ‘Star Wars’ message is. You know, the dark side is in the human heart. And chaos is very troubling for an individual or for a culture, which can lead you to authoritarian leaders. But the arc of history is on the right side. I believe that.”
