Just thought I'd quote you incase you out again and delete your posts for no particular reason.....
anyway I'll repost what I put in before
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."

Now that you ask, I start to doubt myself, but I seem to remember having seen his red comments ending in *thread closed* ever so often. And I dive into the other forums extremely rarely. So my answer would be "yes". |

What's to discuss? They're blatantly obvious. |
