Episode Three: Return of the Quagmire


iconWhy can't Hollyweird liberals just let their artwork stand on it's own merit, without trying to interject their political world views? The latest is George Lucas, who is trying to take advantage of the Star Wars hype by comparing the movie saga to the Iraq and Vietnam wars. The media even claims that 'Revenge of the Sith' is a huge jab at President Bush.

"In terms of evil, one of the original concepts was how does a democracy turn itself into a dictatorship," Lucas told a news conference at Cannes, where his final episode had its world premiere.

"The parallels between what we did in Vietnam and what we're doing in Iraq now are unbelievable.

"On the personal level it was how does a good person turn into a bad person, and part of the observation of that is that most bad people think they are good people, they are doing it for the right reasons," he added.

Lucas is, of course, referring to when the Communist Empire spread from China to Northern Vietnam, and the Rebel Alliance enlisted the help of some furry Ewoks to beat back the Communist agressors. The death star battle is actually just a retelling of the famous battle at Margaret Cho.

I'm sure this also means Lucas is a gun rights advocate. After all, the Rebellion wasn't won using gaffi sticks.

The only parallel I see between Iraq and Vietnam is that in both cases the media is trying(tried) to convince us that we are losing.
