Bush Wins The Final Battle For Star Wars Coincidence that George Lucas' latest crap film opens today? I think not ... yet, like drones in a Russian election, we will all get in line, pay our money, and hope against hope that we get a different result than we fear we are going to get. Ahhh, for the good old days, when I first saw "The Empire Strikes Back" and had the luxury of being critical of it, thinking that that next one would be better, not knowing that was as good as it was going to get. I still think it's a dumb ending ... and I never liked that Lucas responded to allegations there were no black people in the Star Wars universe with Lando Calrissian, showing that, yes, there are black people, they just aren't cool any more. Anyway, fears of a new arms race ( against who? ) seem to be the usual hysteria we used to get from the 'unilateral disarmament' people ( great call there, guys! ) ... so let's build some space platforms! Can I get a cool light sabre now? Article Here
