1. I don't think it was anti-repub as much as a commentary on power itself

Bush et al. are simply coincidence.

I saw the movie earlier tonight. It's far less "kid-friendly" than the previous two, much darker and more tragic. I thought it was good. I had a friend earlier tonight who remarked Palpatine's voice reminded him of Cheney's at certain points.

2. Any commentary on abuse of power is anti-repub (n/t)

4. Exactly, Star Wars is anti-fascist, Bushco is fascist therefore

Star Wars is anti-Bushco.

I personally think that George Lucas is still mad about Reagan using the name Star Wars.

I saw some article that called Star Wars the f9/11 of the summer.

YAY! I can't wait to see it.

3. Wonder what the original Star Wars would be in today's dollars

And, extrapolated to the same number of screens.

5. not sure what site does that...

But, I think it's either www.boxofficeguru.com or www.boxofficemojo.com

I think Gone with the Wind is still #1 in terms of current dollars.
