I liked the first Star Wars flicks. I knew Lucas is a typical Hollywood lib, but I never realized the pro VC angle. I feel duped. >:(
Don’t feel so duped. Lucas had shockingly little to do with Star Wars, and will say anything at any time. Star Wars was largely written by his wife, who also edited it.
That’s why I root for the Empire now. Used to root for the Rebels, but after Lucas confirmed they were meant to be VC, I simply could not root for them anymore knowing what they’re like. And what’s worse is that he tricked scores of Americans with this.
And I don’t normally root for villains and if anything either root for the heroes or not bother rooting for anyone at all, so if I’m rooting for the actual villains, you know the writers crossed a very big line with me.
