| Why ignore, there are some great philosophical undertones to the star wars series, in addition to political ones. The Republic becomes the Empire. "Liberty ends with the sound of applause" |

| how about Anakin's line "If you're not with me, then you are my enemy", which sounded awfully like what Cheney said. |

I THINK THE NEW STARWARS MOVIE THE PHANTOM MENACE WAS GREAT I LIKED QUI GON JINN AND OBI WON KENOBI. THE BEST I LIKED DARTH SIDIOS TO DARTH MAUL WITH HIS ORANGE EYES AND TEETH LOOKED PRETTY COOL. |

| I've seen right-wingers whine like crybabies that star wars was 'anti-bush propaganda'. Funny thing is, the plots were written decades ago, and were greatly inspired by hitler's rise to power. That should tell them something! :p |

I dunno why this got moved (orig. from PDD):
| quote: | 'In terms of evil, one of the original concepts was how does a democracy turn itself into a dictatorship,'' Lucas told a news conference at Cannes, where his final episode had its world premiere.
''The parallels between what we did in Vietnam and what we're doing in Iraq now are unbelievable. |
George Lucus Quoted >CNN<
| quote: | Creator George Lucas admits that his tale of a republic succumbing to dictatorship is colored by his observations of the Nixon administration and, more recently, the post-9/11 Bush administration. Fear, his Jedi often say, leads to the Dark Side; public fears, Episodes I–III suggest, can lead to the concentration of power in the hands of politicians and the erosion of democracy into authoritarianism.
Some observers of the politics of Star Wars sharply criticize parts of Lucas's tale. Following the release of "Episode II: Attack of the Clones," the Objectivist Center's Ed Hudgins fired off an op-ed criticizing the film for showing Palpatine and the Sith forming an alliance of convenience with traders (the Trade Federation), bankers (the Banking Clan), unions (the Commerce Guilds), and corporations (the Corporate Alliance).
"That's about as obvious a slap at business as you'll get," Hudgins bristled. "Lucas the liberal sees economic power as a danger, and fails to realize that it is political power, even in the hands of a republican government, that corrupts commerce and society." |

I LIKED IT TOO. WHAT YOU SAID WAS TOPS. I LIKED THE NEW MOVIE WHEN GENERAL GRIEVOUS HAD FOUR LIGHTSABERS AND HIS HANDS TWIRLED AND HE LOOKED LIKE AN AEROPLANE BUT HE DIDNT TAKE OFF AND FLY SO THAT MADE ME SAD. BUT THEN HE GOT HIS HANDS CUT OFF BY OBI WON KENOBI WHICH IS TOPS. |
