Graduates from Princetons 2012 class will not be able to attend a Star Wars-themed party in Stormtrooper gear due to fears that it will convey a racist message. A rules committee organizing a five-year class reunion party in early June around the fictional Star Wars universe was contacted about characters allegedly inspired by World War II-era events. Subsequently, Stormtroopers will not be allowed.

Oh, yeah, sure, and like the Ewoks weren’t modeled after German Shepherds.
The bombing run on the DS; taken from 633 Squadron.
And R2-D2 wasn't modeled after Professor Robert B. Reich.
Which would have been a step up, because Reich was only 32 years old when Star Wars came out, and therefore was less than two feet tall.
Well I think the solution to the whole thing is to have someone portray that esteemed Princeton president, Woodrow Wilson. That way he could segregate the white storm troopers from the rest of the “polite” party goers.
Did you mean 617, or is this something new to me? 617 hit the three dams in the Ruhr Valley with Barnes Wallis’ goodies. Good observation though, I hadn’t thought of it.
More to the point: THIS IS FROM A FRIGGIN FANTASY MOVIE!!!
Get those deep pocket alums to start opening the wallet.
This is the whole point of political correctness-—to erase history, to erase everything.
What was virtuous and good yesterday is denounced today, and by tomorrow is down the Memory Hole.
No one dares to enjoy or be in favor of anything, lest you quickly find yourself on the wrong side of history, an enemy of the people.
The goal is not to arrive at objective truth; the goal is to instill terror and silence all dissent.

Well, there was an old (B&W) movie called 633 Squadron. I think it was named after a real squadron. They had to fly a canyon to drop bombs under a cliff overhang to cause it to fall and block the opening to an underground NAZI weapons complex. The bombs had to hit just right. And of course there was ack ack guns lining the canyon.
Lucas just modernized it and set it in space.
PC SJW snowflake idiots manufacturing offense where there is none.
That was surreal LOL!
A little digging suggests that the mission is fiction, but I like old movies like that. Thanks for the tip.
