Patriots across the country need to do the right thing and turn their back on Lucas...and show the world we disagree with his assesment of life in America. The spitting on the troops in Vietnam continues and now he spits on our troops in Iraq. What are we doing in Iraq, Mr. Lucas? Freeing a nation from a tyrant.

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

Unlike most good people, I STILL boycott Toyota for caving-in to Jesse Jackson. I do not forget this stuff about boycotts after a few weeks.

I will not see Lucas spew liberal political commentary.

[topher]

So George Lucas shows his true colors -- he is the the real Darth Vader -- no wonder he created this character.

Now we know the origin of Darth Vader -- it is a reflection of George Lucas unleashed upon the worth...

I haven't seen a Star Wars film at the theater since "The Return Of The Jedi." Lucas has jumped the shark long before this particular debacle was released. The Bush bashing is a desperate attempt to paper over a crappy film making job.

Download a bootleg copy off of the internet.

My life is not all-consumed by politics. It's a fantasy movie, and one I've looked forward to since the original trilogy was announced in 1996 or 1997. I'll go, and I'll enjoy it.

Conservatives need to get a thicker skin. Some people do disagree about Vietnam. That's not un-American. Heck, I disagree with Vietnam, as it was fought. War by politicians. We sent Americans over there without the will to do what was necessary to win. God forbid that Iraq turn into a similar quagmire.

[Spacewolfomega]

I'll admit that I really wanted to see this one, but it looks like I'll just have to wait until I watch someone else's copy of the DVD when it comes out. There's no way I'm shelling out money for a movie when the director makes allusions to politics like this.

People ask "How will a boycott affect George Lucas, super-billionaire?" It's simple. When it comes out on the news that sales are a bit down... or even a bit short of what was expected... it will send a STRONG message about these liberal half-assed comments that some bandy about without any thought of those around them.

[MJM59]

Heaven forbid if not everyone shares your political beliefs. Ya know. I am going to see the new Star Wars movie. Two, maybe three times. And I will buy it when it comes to DVD.
Boycott this, boycott that. Get a freaking grip. This is still America and we still have the freedom to think and believe as we all see fit. I swear if some of you had your way, you would make it illegal to be a Democrat or even oppose the current administration.
You know what? When it comes to Iraq. I have yet to see any result that is worth 1600+ dead American soldiers and hundreds of billions of dollars. MAybe some day it will happen. But, right now you have a hard time convincing me that this war to stop Saddam's WMD program is anything but a waste of resources.

[Tunehead54]

For those that choose to go: Consider noting a film with a similiar start time, buy tickets for that then go on in and watch Star Wars. Not recommended in the opening busy weeks.

Some FReople recommended this approach for those who wished to see Moore's Farenheit 9-11 - you get to see it without filling the lib's cofffers. ;-)

Read my tag line for my view.

[longfellow]

Let us not forget Newt Gunray in the last movie......suttle.

[cyborg]

No problem. Whenever the young Korean chick comes around my jobm, I'll just get the bootleg. I live to subvert the profit stream of people I don't like. Not very christian but oh well :-)

[Mamzelle]

Whenever Lucas gives an interview I notice that strange wad of flesh about his thoat--it's like he's storing a winter's worth of food right under his chin.

There are a lot of people who think they are Liberals, when the things they believe are actually Conservatives. The Left is much better at rhetoric and putting on a facade of 'for the people.' A lot of people are caught up in the stylishness of anti-Americanism. But if you actually get their opinions on individual freedom, centralization of power, political correctness, religious freedom, etc., many self-described Liberals are actually Conservative.

Many people have assumed, in the past, that Lucas is Conservative because the basic themes in his stories, starting with F-451 and through the entire StarWars series are strongly Conservative-themed.

The drivel he spouts in interviews are far less influential and meaningful than the themes that are expressed in the stories. Whether he realizes it or not, Lucas' movies are Conservative.

[bdeaner]

Dude, you might as well skip 99.99999% of the movies that come out of Hollywood.

[joyful1]

Was looking forward to it, but I don't think I'll be going. This does hurt, but Lucas is more than an idiot, he is a liberal, and they are dangerous

[Houmatt]

*yawn*

Were you looking for a reason to jump on George less than a week before Episode III opens?

I find the timing of this entry curious.....

[Tijeras_Slim]

There is nothing new in the world of history, and parallels can be drawn many ways. These idiots choose to believe and buy into this because they can make it fit their "Bush is a nazi" worldview, so what. If the only mental tool you have is a hammer, of course you want everything to be a nail to preserve your pseudo-intellectual status.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

"The parallels between what we did in Vietnam and what we are doing now in Iraq are unbelievable"

But he does have a point here. Our Vietnam troops were heroes,trying to bring peace to the world and saving people of that country from being tortured to death, and so are our active duty troops now- just a different government in a different country.

Yup -I see the parallel.

[gopwinsin04]

I'll go to the discount $5.00 matinee, bring my own food and drink water. That way I can cut their profits by 50%

[bookworm100]

Do you think that just maybe “Dreams and Nightmares “ predisposed the Cannes audience (including Lucas) to view Star Wars as an allegory on Bush?
