"As you go through history, I didn't think it was going to get quite this close. So it's just one of those recurring things," Lucas said at a Cannes news conference. "I hope this doesn't come true in our country.

"When I wrote it, Iraq didn't exist," Lucas said, laughing.

"We were just funding
Saddam Hussein and giving him weapons of mass destruction. We didn't think of him as an enemy at that time. We were going after
Iran and using him as our surrogate, just as we were doing in Vietnam. ... The parallels between what we did in Vietnam and what we're doing in Iraq now are unbelievable."

I don't like how the technology is somehow way more advanced in the past

the prequels have androids that do kung-fu, and use super-powerfull energy shields. The ships are way more impressive looking, and they deploy huge droid armies off assembly lines (the jarjar binks planet battle)

the future has R2D2 and lame storm troopers lol.

I'm not intelligent enough to care about who they are talking about. I just want some serious action and story. My politics stop at the door of Star Wars. That isn't what it is all about.

I'm seeing it 3 times on thursday so i will try to be more direct when i get out of therapy :biggrin:

Not with a nerd force as high as Tom's.

**Tom** · 05-16-2005, 01:24 PM

I got them early...i did have two more showings but damnit i couldn't go that long without my baby.

I do have my glasses taped and ready. I put reversable tape on my pocket protector so the only thing i lose when watching this movie is my socks.

God i'm happily pathetic. :biggrin:

PS...try to catch the 4:30 ish show...better chance of having tickets.

**jmk** · 05-16-2005, 01:26 PM

Hey Tom. Let's go over this again. I'm seeing it before it is released. Ha.

**Cinco de Mayo** · 05-16-2005, 01:40 PM

Three times in a day...?

**Tom** · 05-16-2005, 01:49 PM

JMK i do envy you lucky #@$!$#@%^#^#%^#@%%^

Rawse i can't help myself...it's the last one an i have to get it out of my system.

I've never geeked out about any movie like this in my life...Even the Dawn of the Dead Movies. Well...there was a Jennifer connelly thing and a dark theatre one evening...anyway....i just got a bug about this movie for some reason and its gnawing endlessly at every fiber of my being.

There is a reason for that, beyond movie technology improving. In the Republic, there was relative peace and abundant resources. Technology, naturally, was fairly far along at that point. In the original movies, the universe has gone through 20 years of decline without the Jedi and a peaceful Republic to keep things together.

You thought wrong.

BG7 · 05-16-2005, 06:47 PM

There are supposively 3 stories after this, so if Lucas doesn't make them, perhaps after he die someone else finishes off the entire original story, unless they want to get into all the new starwars books that have come out in the past 6 years or so.
