I always thought the originals were more about the rise of the Roman Empire and the Jedi were the equivelant of persecuted Christians, forced to go underground. As many have pointed out on this and other threads, some people need to get a grip. I may not like Lucas's politics but he did make some of the greatest movies in history, along with Spielberg with the Raiders of the Lost Ark series (one and three, anyway.)
I like 'Temple of Doom' darn it. Why does that movie get so much slack?
