I still plan to see the film.

[MarineBrat]

I plan to not see it just like all of the other ones.

See you there?

[Lekker 1]

Good grief. Of course I'm gonna see the film, Hollywonk Lucas notwithstanding.

[Youngblood]

How exactly does Lucas "slam" GW Bush in a Star Wars movie?

Are people being just a little too sensitive, perhaps?

[EveningStar]

Please note that this is not a request to FReep the poll!

[Lord_Baltar]

Despite all of Medved's hand wringing, I'm gonna be comfortably sitting in my seat, at the Theater, for the 12:01 AM show tonight/tommorrow.

[West Coast Conservative]

I'm seeing it this Sunday.

[monkeybrau]

I'm going to see it as well, even if I have to smuggle in my MP3 player and headphones. Reviews suggest it's already like the last, great effects and lousy dialog.

[Night Hides Not]

I still plan to see the film.

Me, too. I also bought the DVD of Easy Rider. Does this mean I have to turn in my Freeper card?

There's plenty of things I won't buy based on a lot of factors. If you objectively analyze what George Lucas said, he's correct.

The parallels between Iraq and Vietnam are unbelievable. (paraphrased)

The parallels are unbelievable, because there really aren't any!

George, in this instance, I agree with you.

[cripplecreek]

I'll buy it when it comes out on DVD.

[Dr. Frank fan]

Anyone who pretends to perceive any sort of coherent system of "politics" in these children's adventure stories is a liar.

You bet I'll go see it :-)

[Zeon Cowboy]

I'm going tomorrow morning at 10:30.

[Trimegistus]

The "political content" sounds awfully faint and unlikely. While I don't doubt liberals applaud anything they _think_ might be anti-Bush or anti-US, I'm inclined to doubt Lucas intended it.

For one thing, when Lucas did get political (in Episode 1, with his villain "Noot Gunray") he was about as subtle as a Wookiee.

[EveningStar]

Take the poll. :)

saw it last night. The political stuff is way overblown in the press. They're minor lines in the whole scheme of things, and frankly I wouldn't have noticed them if some overly sensitive conservatives hadn't made such a big deal of them in the past week. (for the record, I'm a conservative).

It's a good movie, a big step up from the past two, and a lot of fun. And yes, at one point in the movie Yoda steals the show in the space of about 1/2 second (but not in his first scene though).

[Question_Assumptions]

I'll get around to seeing it at some point, possibly in a few weeks when George Lucas gets a smaller cut of the ticket price (the way most movie distribution deals work is that the distributor or studio get's the majority of the ticket price opening week but much less in later weeks).

[LAURENTIJ]

Lucas predicted Bush in 1977 and came up with the empire. He's Kreskin on steroids.

I'm going to see it ASAP, hopefully early next week. Anyone who compares SW to real life needs some therapy.

it's a movie. it's not real. rocky did not really hold the world title in boxing.
