This is a marketing ploy he learned in the 70's. Every film was an "allegory of our experience in Viet Nam". I have read many books and articles where directors and producers admitted it was just marketing BS.

My personal favorite was that "Bonnie and Clyde" was actually about Viet Nam.

Bush presidency, which has been sacrificing freedoms in the interests of national security.

Lucas' abilities as a political commentator are akin to those of his script-writing.

I hope he only uses plastic scissors during editing.

He will do 7-9. These films make way too much money not to. Maybe he will get better actors this time around. Maybe he will not write or direct them either. If he would just get a producer and story credit these films could be great.

Wasn't Nixon Lucas's original inspiration for Emperor Palpatine?
