For example, "only the Sith are interested in ruling the galaxy".
An outright lie. Name the scene where those who support the Republic or Rebellion make such a claim.
They don't
claim it, they are more subtle than that. They
act it. By their actions, the Republic and the Rebellion demonstrate their opinion that supermen are critical to have, and they should be deferred to.
Another lie. The Jedi don't rule the Galaxy.
You just don't want to see the Jedi for what they are: an elite oligarchy "benevolently" ruling over the lesser inhabitants of the galaxy.
Again, the Jedi don't rule the Galaxy. Give one example of the Senate rubber stamping a decision of the Jedi Council. There aren't any because the Jedi answer to the Republic and not the other way around. The only thing they control is internal Jedi matters and the rules of the order.
For example, making the clone army into the army of the republic, at Yoda's behest. However, for the most part, the Jedi don't even bother to ask the council. They just "do what is best" in their opinion.
And you base this on what, exactly?
Well, I would base Tiger Wood's superiority on his superior record of accomplishment (numerous tournament titles, awards and so on), while Andre Ware was a backup quarterback with an entirely undistinguished record.
And to be quite precise here, the comparison of a golfer to a football player is not a good analogy overall. The comparison to Brin and Lucas would more aptly be a comparison between two football players who play different positions (i.e. they are in the same field, but do slightly different things).
If you can make an honest argument, make it. You have made several claims that are demonstrably false and simply repeat David Brin's lies. You offer no evidence for your other claims. That's very dishonest, but typical for Brin and his apologists.
Brin's observations are not lies, they are simply a view of the movie that is different than yours. Is it truly so important to you that Lucas, a second tier director and producer, and a third rate storyteller, be deified as having never made a misstep in his career? Brin takes his observations directly from the observed behaviour of the characters in the movies, and draws conclusions from them. That isn't lying, that is evaluating. I'm sorry that you disagree with him, but it doesn't make his evaluation "lies" (which seems to be your favorite word, as if repeating it
ad nauseum will make your flawed arguments gain traction).
And as long as we are talking about accuracy, I'm still waiting for you to show how, for example, Brin had anything to do with the production of the movie
The Postman.
