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.
Lucas himself said that his first series took inspiration from his opposition to the Vietnam War, and that the perils of empire that run throughout the Star Wars plot have applications to today's situation as well...He even made parallels between Vietnam and Iraq. So, based on your comment, I would agree that Geo. Lucas needs some therapy.
