1. Empire strikes back had rampant agist overtones- "when 900 years old,
you wait, look as good, you will not." What does age have to do with it?

7. Actually there are more than just Jawas on Tattooine - though you
probably call them "savages"

16. No, I'm dead serious.
It's time we stood up to Lucas and his thinly veiled, hateful, bigoted portrayals of evolved species (I refrain from calling them aliens, thank you very much).

17. Lucas' portrayal of C3PO as a gay robot is offensive to me
Where I grew up, middle class robots weren't gay, at least none admitted to it.

20. You're voting for the right movie for the wrong reasons.
Remember MIDICHLORIANS? Hereditary merit! Blue blood!

21. There are no MIDICHLORIANS
That was just a scientific theory. The force comes from intelligent design.
