<p>Hollywood is on pace to enjoy a record year at the box office. With $10.7 billion banked domestically, and 10 days remaining, <a href="http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/?view2=ytdcompare&amp;view=releasedate&amp;p=.htm">this year is already +3.4% ahead of last and a full +9% ahead of 2014</a>. And &#8220;Rogue One: A Star Wars Story&#8221; will help the industry close on a high note. Yes, the film biz still has problems. Attendance is stagnant, Disney is gobbling up a disproportionate amount of overall revenue (it owns Star Wars, Pixar, Marvel)&#8230; The trend lines, though, are headed in the right direction. And the strikingly apolitical &#8220;Rogue One&#8221; explains a lot.</p>
<p>As my colleague <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/11725/review-star-wars-rogue-one-harry-khachatrian">Harry Khachatrian pointed out</a>, despite the rumors and public post-Trump meltdown of many of its key creators, &#8220;Rogue One&#8221; is much more conservative than liberal. 1) There is nothing partisan anywhere in the story. 2) The themes are universal ones of self-sacrifice, fighting for a cause bigger than yourself, individual freedom, and, yes, a colorblind society.</p>
