In viewing most movies nowadays, I have to overlook many blatant allegorical references by filmakers trying to make a political statement rather than making a movie. The only other politically motivated wince inducing moment in any Star Wars movie is in Return of the Jedi in which ObiWan tells Luke "that many of the truths we cling to are only true from a certain point of view..." so I guess moral relativity exists in other galaxies as well.
But I'm still seeing the movie. I'm waiting for a few days after the 19th, I just can't deal with the onslaught of people dressed up like Jedi wielding plastic light sabers anymore.

Here in D.C. they have already started lining up at the premiere theater, the Uptown, for next Wednesday night's openeing. Sheesh, get a life!

Sad but true. Ever see the sci-fi movie Paycheck? I lost all my respect for John Woo when I saw that anti-Iraq War piece of filth.
