When I first saw Star Wars, I was in the USAF. I saw it, and most of my squadron saw it as a very pro-USA pro-military "good guys" win movie. It was a culty hit in the base theater where we all cheered like kids for the good guys and booed Vader.

The audience participation line when the death star blew up was F@#kin shack!!

I have no idea what Lucas thought he was projecting. He failed dismally if he thought it was perceived to be anti-American.

I have come to realize about George Lucas that "Fail" is his normal mode of operation. I have come around to the position put forth by "Mr. Plinkett", that Star Wars was only good because somehow the rest of the staff kept George Lucas from totally screwing it up.

Everything George Lucas had a strong hand in since is utter crap. The first movie was excellent. The Second Okay. All the rest were just terrible. The more George Lucas there was in these movies, the worse they were.

I can now only conclude that the first one was a weird fluke, and George Lucas has no actual talent at anything.

Agree totally.
