I'm sure that I wasn't the only one to be disappointed by the shallow and historically short-sighted comments made by Lucas this past week. To re-imagine the Star Wars trilogies in his vision is beyond depressing. Chrenkoff has put up an open letter to Lucas. It's worth the read, as he has a non-American perspective on the movies.
I'll still see the new one of course, and I'll continue to enjoy the series. But understanding the worldview Lucas was coming from really does take them down a notch in my eyes. It's hard to seperate the art from the artist when his message is so off base. It makes you wonder what Lucas hoped to gain by his comments. Did he think he would get more leftists to see his movie? Star Wars has always been a phenomenon that crosses political divides.
