That dude had too much time on his hands to research all that.

[spanalot]

the movie sucked

[Poopyhead]

yes, the movie truly sucked

[Jabba the Nutt]

It was Ted Kennedy (Darth Vatt), who uses 'Star Wars' as a derogatory term for SDI. Unfortunately for him, Americans loved 'Star Wars' and thought that would be a cool way to defend the country.

Lucas may think he's making a anti-Republican message, but the story of fighting evil even against long odds is a far stronger message.

bflr--this is too much. Literally and figuratively!!!

[SoIA-79]

What the 'free subscription offer' is this?! Do they just let anyone write in that rag now. If I understand this guy right the jedi/rebels are communists and the Imperials are Republicans based on some obscure symbology. Sometimes a movie is just a movie.

NOOOOOOO!

That sort of discussion reminds me of the CR*P they come up with in Art History courses.

Most artists would never recognize their motives in producting their works of art in those discussions.

Lucas' motive was in wrapping up the story line while he was still alive and kicking.

BTW, that's only the LATEST, not the LAST ~ in the end Darth Vader joins with Luke Skywalker in killing the Sith Lord who had become Emperor.

The military, whether they worked for the Republic or the Empire, pretty much did the same job.

BTW, "W" really doesn't remind me of a Sith ~ Chuckie Schumer has that role locked up tight!

[Blind Eye Jones]

Lets face it Lucas has made an Empire for himself in movie land and therefore must be the real Emperor... and as such he is as corrupt as all get out! Don't listen to him if you want to save you soul!
