Rating: Null/10 (9 June 2005)

I watched this flick without ever seeing any of the other Star Wars movies. In fact during the 80's I thought Star Wars was a cold war reference when hearing about it on the news. I think much like these old re-emerging hippies speaking out against the war. Maybe they are reminiscing of the free love and drugs that powered a generation of war haters. Lucas delivers a few jabs at the political jaw of his country's leader. This can be seen in a few of the movies out now---'World Police' 'Passion of J. C.' 'Kingdom of Heaven' ---the new movie staring Orlando Blume--- was a better comment on this current situation of the war in Iraq.
I also just viewed a Hurasawa film 'The Hidden Fortress' again. The references from this film is still evident here--- although the slower pace of Hidden Fortress and better story.
Although the actual scene of transformation into Darth is still in my mind.
