Star Wars needs to stop taking itself so seriously and return to its roots as a western, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, comedy set in space, just like the first one.

I thought George Lucas said that the Viet Cong was the inspiration for the "rebels" in the first Star Wars movie.

No kidding … I didn’t know that.

To me, it’s always been more spiritual in a lot of ways, so I was thinking there was more of a biblical, Old and New Testament kind of inspiration for the story, including Jewish prophets in the guise of the Jedi, with similar mystical powers thrown in just to make it more interesting.

But from what you said, I was not even close with my guess!

And now that I do know what you said, I’m not sure what to do with it now that I do know it.

Hmmmm … I like my version better, but if I’m wrong, I’m wrong. Oh well ….
