Lucas has tried to revise his original trilogy through his prequels. NOW it's supposed to be about multicultural liberals who rebel against the conservative government (he's consistently said that the Emperor is Nixon).

The Killing Fields is curious in that many libs see it as showing that socialism is "perverted"--note the John Lennon socialist fantasy "Imagine" playing over the final reunion.

I'll have to think about some conservative flicks. Conan? THX-1138? James Bond? Rambo?

I don't think that Lucas has been consistent about anything regarding the Star Wars story. At first he says it is about Vietnam and then he says it isn't.

I think that Lucas is just once talented guy going through a midlife crisis and the Star Wars stories are just stories and have no hidden meaning.

But The Killing Fields was John Lennon's song put into practice. You see Pol Pot did just what John Lennon song about He imaging all those things and put them into practice. Pol Pot must have been Lennon's biggest fan.
