STAR WARS IS FILTH -- HERE IS WHY!!!
Beer Belly
I saw Star Wars in 1977, and I thought it was great...and it is
definately a well done piece of work...
But recently I started to detest it...and for a long time I could not
understand why.
I think the underlying reason why people love Star Wars so much, is
because it depicts the very real battle of the "Rich against the
Poor".
Millions all over the world are very poor, and they can easily
identify with "Luke Skywalker", the poor boy, and his battle against
totalitarian, megabucks - namely, Darth and the Emperor.
People love Star Wars, because Luke Skywalker ACTUALLY OVERCOMES the
dark forces of greed, corruption, and totalitarianism embodied by the
so-called "Imperial Forces".
Star Wars fulfills an innate dream held by the masses of peasants and
serfs on this planet, to free themselves from the bondage of greedy
plutocrats and overlords, and we are talking about REAL Darth Vaders,
and REAL Emperors. The REAL corporate overlords of this Planet hold
the people of this world in EXACTLY they same tyranny and bondage, as
does the fictional "Empire". As a matter of fact, the scumbags who
run this planet are FAR WORSE than ANY "Darth Vader".
In the Star Wars Saga, Luke, the "poor boy" beats the forces, of evil,
and that gives the Star Wars Fan, a tiny schred of joy...and a
fantasy, that somehow, it may be possible to overthrow corporate EVIL,
and gain a life BETTER than the slavery of working for some twisted,
downsizing corporation, which is always trying to gut unions, and cut
wages to the bone.
The trouble with "Star Wars", rests with the fact, that "Star Wars" is
nothing more than a FANTASY. It has done NOTHING, and I repeat,
>>NOTHING<< to improve conditions for the average poor boy "rebel" out
there in the real world. In 1977, the top 1% of U.S. citizens owned
25% of all American wealth. Today, the top 1% of Americans, owns 45%
of US wealth and that is CLIMBING.
"Darth Vader" has WON!!!
And all the fans of "Star Wars" have done nothing more than turn their
hard earned dollars over to Mr. George Lucas, and his Dark Empire.
Has he REALLY done anything for you??? Or has Mr. Lucas's DARK SIDE
WON???
MILLIONS...Let me repeat that...MILLIONS of people LIVE ON THE
STREETS, while >>YOU<< buy up Star Wars trinkets and toys at inflated
prices.
Star Wars has not only done NOTHING, it has succeeded in PERVERTING
our culture, and has made things WORSE.
Many of you will vigorously deny this, I understand. Keep living in
your FANTASY world. YOUR standard of living, on average, IS MUCH
LOWER THAN IT WAS IN 1977. This is not a claim, it is a hard, cold
FACT. I suggest you continue to spend your time in a FANTASY world,
and "pretend" your way to a rapidly eroding prosperity.
Your REAL standard of living has been gutted, but you have "Luke
Skywalker" to cheer you up, while George Lucas lives in luxury and
excess AT YOUR EXPENSE.
May the "FANTASY" of prosperity be with you ALWAYS.
Until then, send your check to:

My question to you is, so what? We watch SW because we like the movie,
NOT because we thought it would change the world.

The same is true of Gilligans Island. You see Gilligan is treated like
a fool and a lacky by the rest of the residents of the isle but inside
he is the only one that is truly happy and has a good heart, well okay
maybe Mary Ann to. The point is all the others were corrupted by power
(the Skipper), fame (Ginger), elitism (the Proffesor) and of rank
capatalist greed (Mr. & Mrs. Howle). CBS canceled the show when they
realised the writers were really trying to indoctrinate America's
youth into a Gilligan like life of idle slacking.
Tune in next week and I'll explain The Beverly Hillbilies.

What I find amazing is how Star Wars fans miss the entire point
of Star Wars. It is clearly an allegorical tale of a young man
coming to terms with his homosexuality.
Here's the concept: Luke subconsciously realizes he's gay yet he
cannot come to terms with his sexual orientation.
The Symbols:
* Luke lives on a desert world. The dry planet is symbolic of an
unlubricated, unaroused vagina. Try as he might, he cannot escape,
e.g. arouse, that vagina. The locals (the straights) spend all
their time trying to draw out the moisture. Luke is not
at all interested in this activity.
* Luke surrounds himself with phallic symbols: lightsabers, X-wings
(take a look at the front of an X-wing, it's clearly the head
of a penis), moisture vaperators, R2 Units, & blasters.
* Stormtroopers are clearly sperm. The sperm have clearly
penetrated the Death Star, which is symbolic of the woman's
egg. Luke destroys the egg.
* Luke accepts his lightsaber (e.g. takes a penis) from an older
sexual mentor (Ben, a sailor). Luke, captured by the egg,
requires Ben to release him from the egg's grip.
* The Force is a reference to the force one requires to
achieve anal penetration.
* "Let go, Luke" is clearly a reference to relaxing the
muscles to allow anal penetration.
* No pilot looks forward to launching their torpedoes
against the exhaust port or the "chute". Luke can't
wait to send his torpedo up the chute.
* Luke fights against wedge-shaped Star Destroyers. The disparagingly
term "cunt" is related to the term "cuneate" which is defined as
"Wedge-shaped. Used especially to describe a leaf or petal base
that is narrowly triangular." Again, vaginal symbolism Luke
attempts to rebel against.
* Luke sends Wedge away.
* Luke is enamored with a swarthy, dark-haired, older man with a
moustache and a phallic name like Biggs.
* Luke's sole female attraction is Leia. Unable to consummate a
relationship with her, instead of admitting he's gay, Luke spins
a fantasy that she's his sister, thereby absolving him of
the need to confront his sexuality.
* Vader is Luke's unrealized sexuality personified. Again,
Vader's helmet is clearly styled after the head of a penis.
* Luke is constantly told Vader (homosexuality) is evil, yet
in the back of his mind he can't help but realize there
is some good in homosexuality.
* Luke's vision in the tree (another phallic symbol)
is a symbolic castration.
* With Luke's first encounter with homosexuality (Vader)
he discovers homosexuality "runs in the family". It is
his destiny. His right hand (his masturbation hand) is
lopped off. His "safe" method of sexual release has been
cut off. He now must make a choice. Luke, at this point,
cannot accept his homosexuality and plunges headlong
into the airshaft (the airshaft is vaginal symbolism).
* After Luke's first "encounter" is drawn to repeat
the experience. His final confrontation and acceptance
of his homosexuality naturally takes place at the point
of a phallic symbol (the Emperor's tower).

YES YES YES!!!!! Fantasy! You probably scan the boob tube looking for all those
made for TV movies that say: based on a true story. You watch a lot of Cops
too.

no, Darth Vader is dead. Anakin Skywalker has won.

Yes, Star Wars has made my life wonderful from the first time I saw the first
one when I was 5 until just last weekend when I waited in line for 3 hours to
see the Special Edition. George Lucas has made me HAPPY! When I was little and
played with my star wars figures I WAS HAPPY! I will give those toys to my kids
to play with and they will be brought up with the movies too. because they are
fun! they are entertaining! They are just plain NEAT!

how do you know MY standard of living? I think George Lucas is a very humble
man. he brought these movies out for the fans. He wants fans to be able to see
them the way they did twenty years ago and bring their kids because that's what
the fans wanted. He knew this. THey have told them. He puts things in the
movies FOR the fans. He has said this. He has changed scripts and added
characters that he on his own wouldn't have added but did because the fans
wanted this. If you want to attack greedy capitalists attack Bill Gates,
attack the CEO of Warner Brothers records don't attack George Lucas for
bringing the people of the world a great, entertaining, fun, and complete
FANTASY. you are supposed to enter a fantasy world when you watch a movie, or
read a ficticious book. You probably weren't much fun to play with as a child
because you didn't have an imagination.

What are they sending me in return? i have never just sent a check to ANYONE

There is no such thing as 'shades of grey',no 'grey areas', only black
and white spots, some of which are very small. If you see grey, you're
not getting close enough to what you're looking at to know it's true
nature.

There is nobody so intent on enforcing conformity to their ideas and

because political correctness brings diversity in everything but...

I was influenced by Star Wars in the following ways:
First, from 1977 until around 1984, all I did was play with my ever
growing Star Wars toy collection. I took an interest in
science-fiction, as an artist and writer. Later I started writing role-
playing games, and entered the computer age with a Commodore 64. Around
1988, my family got a VHS Camcorder, and I started making movies after
school with friends. After graduating in 1989, I started college for
film and video production. In college I was introduced to computer
animation and digital video production. I started doing 3-D animation
on an Amiga computer in 1992. After winning some amateur awards, and
putting together a demo reel, I set out for the "real world". Many
months passed. In 1996 I was hired as an artist/animator/designer in
a well-known computer games developer--thus merging all of my hobbies
and interests. A month ago the entire staff left work early to see the
Star Wars Special Edition, taking up an entire row in the theater... the
effects these movies have had on my life is quite profound.
After seeing Star Wars again from a 1997 perspective, I came to the
following realization...
Star Wars is the story of a young farmer who finds religion, and under
the emotional strains of a government raid, risks his life to deliver
important information stored in his computer to the militia, in an
attempt to overthrow tyranny.
Wow...
So, the moral of the story is:
-don't mess with the farmers.
-listen to your elders.
-believe in yourself.
-have faith.
-there is "life" after death.
-you will be tempted by evil.
-absolute power corrupts absolutely.
-the government wants to wipe out religion.
-they don't need to see your identification.
-they will try to track your vehicle.
-if they find out that you are trying to stop them, they will kill your
friends and family.
-there are weaknesses in big government that can be exploited.
-information is the means.
Go get that information!

I appreciate your passion, and you have some points which need to be
discussed seriously. However, this is not the group for your post. There
are many political and economic groups on USENET that will welcome your
observations. But this is, frankly, a recreational group where we fool
around discussing a fantasy world. Where it's a product of real-world
problems, we discuss those connections (note the recent thread on the lack
of non-whites and women in the films). But your post fundamentally is
devoted to real-world political commentary, and you'd be better served
addressing an audience that is seeking that kind of commentary.
Maybe I'll see you in one of those groups!

Could you post the group charter where it specificially forbids
the political implications of Star Wars and reserves the group
for fooling around discussing a fantasy world? I dare say you should
look into acquiring a newsreader with a kill file if you find certain
on topic discussions not meeting your expectations about a
certain group.
