As Senator Padme, played by Natalie Portman, watches Palpatine consolidate his power amid a rapturous senate, she comments disgustedly, "This is how liberty dies: with thundering applause."
"I didn't expect that to be true," Lucas said, then laughed. "It gets truer every day, unfortunately."
(producer) McCallum was willing to make one prediction: "There's no question that the French are going to love the movie. We are definitely going to get the Golden Freedom Fry Award for best movie of the year, because they'll see it exactly the way they see their relationship with us now."
Yes, they are gleeful.....it is too bad. I probably won't see the movie as I am not a Star Wars fan, but I know and love many who are. Many that are die-hard conservatives but will put that aside to see the movie. They are just that big of fans. At least the other side is being heard a little, I will definitely watch tonight.
Have a great day!
You know, people were looking for hidden meanings in the oddest places even back in the 1960's. In fact, one man thought he had detected hidden meanings from songs he had heard on the Beatles self-titled double album. He used the "messages" as the basis for the murders of eight human beings. His name? Charles Manson.
This, if anything, should tell you what kind of people look for meanings in places where there are none.
Hey bonehead. The French were the ones who got us involved with Vietnam in the first place.
