    You almost had me....until the politics. There's really nothing relevant in Star Wars that can't be said for any other movie that dabbles in politics. Just like religious sermons, vague political concepts ring true no matter what era. That's how they pull you in. I just chose to let it go because it (Star Wars) served it's purpose. It entertained me as a child. Then I grew up and had kids of my own and stopped being fascinated with stuff like that.

    you stopped being fascinated by the pursuit of dreams and wonder???

    palpatine was a master manipulator. but if one ever thought qui gonn was correct in his assumption that it would be anakin whod bring balance to the force then they are about as deluded as anakin was. it was always gonna be luke - always. and no matter how many times anakin was told about how seductive the dark side was he never quite got it. he thought he knew it all. sure he was redeemed by saving his sons life. and perhaps thats what lucas was about all along... the redemptive power fo love.

    I think Qui Gon was right, Anakin DID bring balance to the force. He killed one of the most powerful Sith in recent memory and his next in command [himself.] It was Luke who had to remind him that you can always see good in someone.
    And to the whole talk about grown men loving it, I don't see the problem. I'm sure many people here loved Pearl Jam when they were in their early 20's and still do now. To me watching Luke stare at the two suns setting on Tatooine just wanting to get away and do something with his life gives me shivers still, who doesn't relate to that once in a while?

    The whole final duel at the end of Return of the Jedi with the music playing is epic to me too, especially watching Luke's frustration as they are taunting him saying his friends are going into a trap.

    hmmmm but without luke none of that would have happened. it was luke who showed his father compassion. that there was some goodness still inside him. it was luke who confronted not only vader(as the emperors enforcer and as his own father) but palpatine as well. vader would have gone on his merry way doing his badness thing and died a bitter old man without luke. it was lukes resistance of the dark side that brought balance to the force.

    Dude, Vader was a Jedi/Sith Lord. He can sense a presence galaxies away. You trying to tell me he didn't know when he didn't pull out that he had left some DNA behind? Did he not see this girl he was banging accidentally in a club somewhere and notice she was a little pregnant? I would have asked some questions. I don't buy the fact that he didn't know he had kids. He also knew Luke was his son when he almost fell out of Cloud City and didn't seem to care as he watched him fall a million feet. Face it, Darth Vader is a terrible father.

    :lol:

    And I agree that the latest 3 movies sucked elephants.

    So anyway, I was kidding. Star Wars is awesome. I don't watch it to find metaphoric comparisons or measure it's algorithms to calculate whether or not they coincide with the curvature of the earth or anything like that, but it was a good trilogy. The prequel did suck. I will not budge on that. Anyway, sorry for the confusion.

    p.s. Dressing up like Stormtroopers isn't my cup of tea, but hey, whatever floats your boat I suppose.
