Neglecting the historical issues (Star Wars came ou in the 1970’s), inquiring minds want to know who Barack’s role in this parable for the ages. Samuel Jackson?

And Natalie Portman as herself-especially when standing next to Hillary Clinton!

Never does the series explain why the Siths are evil.

Actually, it does, albeit not in a manner that Lucas might have invisioned.
Imagine what happened after the Rebel Alliance blew up the second Death Star.
The galaxy cheered like crazy, shown in the re-doing of Return of the Jedi.
What they DIDN'T show was the cheering from all of the galactic overlords and tyrants happily patting themselves on the back and arming their henchmen as they said, "WOO-HOO! No more EMPIRE! Now we get to be cruel and dictatorial again to the peoples in our systems!! YAYS!" as they plotted the violent takeover of other worlds.
Jabba times a billion.

George lucas is just a toy salesman.

his entire francise has just become a way to marekt misc toys and “collectible toys” that can’t come out of the packages lest they lose “value”.

It is kind of sad really. I would expect the francise will get a boost after Lucas is no longer on this mortal earth.

(much like we hope the new star trek will go back to the anti pc roots)

In Episodes 1 and 2, slavery exists on Tattoine. In Episodes 4 and 6 it does not. Go figure.

Exactly!
And as Governor Tarkin stated when asked how control would be maintained after the dissolving of the Senate: "The regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear (long pause) will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station."
(I typed that from memory. Yes, I have no life)
Anyhoo, as is the case here. Iran wouldn't attack Israel because the Emperor and his Death Star would come after them.
Fear works wonders in these situations.

The best thing about the Star Wars movies...

Lightsabers!!!
Click and see REAL lightsabers in action in Taiwan.



(Okay, they're not real. These are built by a guy named Makototsai, and they're far better and brighter than the cheap toys they sell)

There was a line that Anakin Skywalker said “You are either with me, or against me” and it raised many eyebrows that obviously drew comparisons of evil Anakin and evil Bush.

Yes, and the very next line, uttered by Obi-Wan Kenobi is something like, "Only a Sith speaks in absolutes," apparently oblivious to the fact that any declarative sentence that includes the word "only" is itself an absolute statement.

BTW...I don't buy Maureen's story. The timelines don't match.

LOL...my son has become an accomplished youth fencer because of excessive lightsaber usage as a young child.

So, as usual, it’s all Darth Vader’s fault!

Well, you don’t have to end it there. Get him a Makototsai saber. I’m talking with him now to have a saber built for myself and my 2 Sons.

Makototsai makes these sabers. Brightest and best in the business:

I’m again reminded why I so rarely go to the movie theatre, watch popular tv programs or generally waste any of my time on pop culture. I’d encounter less cr@p taking a dip in the septic tank.

If you read “The Secret History of Star Wars,” you will read, exhaustively, about how Darth Vader was never intended to be Luke’s father until he was written that way in a revised version of The Empire Strikes Back...but Lucas now claims he intended it that way all along. Even though there are previous drafts of scripts of both movies that say otherwise.

Maybe his is pissed because he shares the same name with W but I do believe them sadly. He attacked W at Cannes when he showed ROTS there in 05.
