Salon.com, The Village Voice, The New York Slimes, The Toronto Globe & *Mail*, & the coup de gras...Wayne State University (& some faculty clown by the name of, Jose Cuella!)??
Oh yeaaaaaaa!

They're kidding, right?
They are kidding...right?
The Left truely is dead; deader than a doornail.
Only, interestingly enough?
They don't know it; &, no major dude's stepped up to tell 'em yet, either.

"Critic Rick Groen of the Toronto Globe and Mail makes Lucas-bashing a North American venture as he warns with true haughty elitism that you should not turn to Lucas 'if you happen to belong to that tiny minority whose idea of fun...lies in a story with depth and characters with complexity and a theme with meaning...'"

Oh.
OKey Dokey, *Rick*.
We should turn to you then, eh?
BWWWWAHAAAAAA!!!!
~groaaaaaann~ or is that, groennnn; either way, it's a wash.
"The Toronto Globe and Mail," huh.

"While being politically left-leaning, George Lucas is learning firsthand the secret power behind the dark side of liberals..."

Uh-huh...*feeeeel* the hate, George!!!
Let it escape you & the *transformation* will be coMMMMPLLLeeeeTe.

"But now, after a series of hit movies, an empire of successful spin-off companies and a legion of devoted followers, Lucas has become just another middle-aged, rich, white-man enemy."

Yea-yea; that's how the *script* the Socialist-Liberals have wrote for poor George is looking, eh?
He should never have have deviated from their utopian social engineering formula!!
Nope; he done went back to the *Old School* mentality for making motion pictures being a function of entertainment based on fantacy & fiction.
For his HIGH crime, Lucas shall be damned; but-good.

"Like one of his embattled Jedi characters, movie magician George Lucas is under assault."

Still?
It's kinda refreshing in a strange kinda way to be seeing this guy cannibalized -- & not *just* by one of his own kind -- but, by part of a beast he helped create.
How's it *feeeeeeeel*, George?
Maybe a *tad* like being mugged, or worse yet, raped?
Well!!
That's *OK* Big Guy; it happens to us all, ~on the Right.

...& sooner rather than later; more, rather than less. ;^)

Connie "egg foo" Chung might be an airhead, but I would gladly share a foxhole with her.

Given the choice, and if we were closer in age, I'd take Senator Amidala.

But you know what? Many voting members of the Academy admitted they never even watched Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan!

Say WHAT?!?

No wonder the film I consider the best of the last decade did not win.

You forgot...to satisfy them, the clone must also be pro-gun and pro-life.

Cuella also seems to have forgotten that little white Anakin and his white mother were slaves to a creature named Watto...

I take it the good Senator is still jailbait?

"Cuella's theory rests on the premise that the character Jango Fett is the allegorical representation of Hispanics in Lucas' myth-based world... "

Up until Episode II, the features of Bobba Fett were hidden in a helmet. By episode VI, he's at least as old as Obi Wan Kenobi, and quite agile. The clones featured in Episode II are not drunken, womanizing, ranchero music playing farm laborers, so where is the resemblance to the hispanic Lucas would encounter in his world of California central valley Modesto?

That happens when she starts carrying Luke and Leia...ILM should have no problem with the digital editing required.

I don't think so, but she is nearly young enough to be my granddaughter.

Liker the other poster stated, a little digital enhancement will be an easy task. So they're preggy breasts, I can't wait.

She is 20 from what I understand through her interview with Leno or Letterman.

You know what they said about "Watto", don't cha?

1. He was a "hook nose" stereotype of an Arab shop keeper.

2. But I also heard he was a "hook nose" stereotype of a Jewish shop keeper.

Imagine if he had spent a bundle on booze and strippers the night before he flew into a building.

The critic, David Thompson, mocks the on-screen love affair as "early '50s" where the love-struck protagonists "start talking about love and marriage - those classic parental alternatives to desire and pleasure."

Wow, has anyone ever before stated the American Left's condescending moral philosophy so succinctly?

And if memory serves me right, the left cried foul over Watto and accused Lucas of making him a 'money hungry jew'.

When I see Watto, I think "Arafat".
