Wars, Star and Otherwise

George Lucas, creator of the most overrated B-movie of all time argues that his new Star Wars film is not actually intended to warn Americans about the dangers of war fever or conservatism. There are, however, parallels to Rome and Weimar in the story, especially considering Hitler's use of the lightsaber.
Off the record, Lucas added: "Really, I just want Americans to wake up to the dangers of giant asteroid-dwelling slugs and bounty hunters with rocket launchers on their wrists. These things are serious people!"
