I'm really confused here because this seems like a lot of misplaced effort against the guy when what he said was essentially the truth. If I'm missing something here, or not understanding it correctly, please let me know.
What Lucas said wrt Iraq/Vietnam is nowhere close to the truth but I don't care. Star Wars movies are just a collection of crap. Terrible acting, ridiculous story line, absurd weaponry. I stumbled onto one the other day and watched awhile and was dumbstruck at just how bad they are.
Most overrated movies EVER.
