[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 184851, member: 2525"] Wow, that theory really is cool (though I don't buy it). As for Trimeulose and his "I'm almost crying over here (seriously)" ... well, what can I say. It really is just a movie. Lucas said long ago, and some of which he repeated last month in Time magazine, the only intent he ever had for Star Wars was to present a few episodes in the middle of a Saturday afternoon radio show, cheap adventure movie, or pulp comic book. That's it. The cowboys / swashbucklers have a bar fight, rescue the princess, swings across the room, have sword fights, kill the evil guy wearing the black hat, and everyone celebrates in the end. Later, they get trapped in the Alamo, and go on to blow up the enemies fort. The force is thrown in because Lucas was in the midst of becoming a Buddhist at the time (and, as he says, it's because everyone where he lives, which is Marin county, is a Buddhist). Fast races take place in the movies because Lucas loved racing where he grew up in Modesto, California (and turned to comic books, radio shows, and cheap adventure movies after his serious car accident). There is really very little that is even slightly original in any of the Star Wars movies. Take it out of outer space, and you can find literally dozens of (usually bad) movies and radio shows and comic books of Lucas' generation that feature the various plot points of all of the movies. You can worship the original movies all you want. But I doubt you will ever be satisfied. Enjoy them for what they are, good, youthful entertainment, and you will like them all. Me, I love them.
