Believe it or not, and if you're a Liberal you probably believe it, but Director George Lucas (shown above with actor Ewan McGregor) sees a parallel between his "Star Wars" saga and America, particularly in this time of war. This country like Vader's Empire, he sez, is turning from good to evil, and the Vietnam War is proof. Oh well, I'll enjoy the sixth movie in the saga anyway despite the Looney Tune explanation here. And Dan Froomkin/Washington Post columnizes that "Revenge of the Sith" could be the biggest anti-Bush blockbuster since Michael Moore's schlockamentary "Fahrenheit 911" here.
