Star Wars as an allegory of coming to terms with homosexuality
Maaxx
allegorical tale of an experienced man celebrating his homosexuality. Boba
Fett (played by Jeremy Bullock) rejoices in his gay lifestyle, yet he is
constantly forced to defend his choice of sexual orientation from the
ravages of homophobes and women. Lucas literally gives you a road map to
the symbolism. Consider:
* George wasn't sure how the puritanical American media would react to the
story as originally scripted, so he toned the whole affair down into the
'Luke' allegory. Finding widespread public acceptance, he was able to
introduce the main character in The Empire Strikes Back (the title
itself a mockery of the conservative homophobic socio-political
structures of the then - and present - time), albeit as only a 'minor'
player. So, while much of the drama focuses on the young Skywalker's
experimentation, the story is really Boba's to tell.
* 'Boba Fett' is actually a corruption of 'Rubber Fetish'; Mr Fett took
this name to emancipate himself from the shackles of homophobic,
patriachal society. Underneath that armour (which comes in every colour
of the rainbow) lies the tastiest gimp suit you have never laid thighs
upon. And, honestly, can his uniform (or, indeed, those of all other
characters in the series) be considered anything but gay camp? I thought
not.
* He's the big, strong, silent type who likes to shoot from the hip. And
when he's handling his blaster, who does he like to aim it at? That's
right - other men.
* His spacecraft (for Boba is a sailor) is a blatant representation of an
athletic 'box', or 'cup'; Boba sits erect at the top, his head right
where the head of an erect penis would tower. And the name of this
vessel? Why the (Sex)Slave I, of course.
* Fett relishing working under Vader, the very personification and
idealisation of his rampant homosexuality: that big black stature, that
polished head, that rubber ensheathing...and can you imagine the balls
on the guy?! That sensuous bass could entice anybody into the sack.
Mmmmmm...Jedi mind trick me, baby....
* You will notice that Boba refuses to deal directly with Emperor Cos
Palpatine (a sexual pseudonym if ever there was one): this bitter evil
homophobe, so reminiscent of a flaccid, syphilitic penis, wishes only to
subjugate the great body of homosexual icons, or "Jedi". He's done it to
the Lord Vader, but Mr Fett is gambling that by bringing the boy to
Darth he will be jarred free of such repressive influence.
* It is for similar reasons that Boba goes to Tatooine. The grossly
corpulent, slothful Jabba, greasy, unkempt, prone to acts of random
violence, and without charm or grace, is the undeniable paragon of your
ISO Standard Male. But perhaps he, and those who gather round him, can
be shown a new way - a better way - , realising their inner selves and
reaching for the rainbow of their true sexuality, be it Homo or Other.
* Never afraid to try new positions and experiences, the bounty hunter
goes in for a round of Han Solo (not quite) Naked and Petrified. And he
shows respect - that uncommon quality - for the recipient, remaining
until he wakes instead of sneaking off into the night when the deed is
done.
* Boba admires the handiwork of a fellow bounty hunter named Boushh (not
to be confused with Bossk, the reptilian bounty hunter), only to be
betrayed when the nefarious Leia drops her disguise in the process of
stealing away his man. He finds it fitting that she shall be consigned
to the Sarlacc inhabiting the Great Pit of Carkoon to have its manifest
femininity forced upon her as she has forced hers upon others. But all
goes awry, for the malicious schemings of the Woman have subverted Luke,
and he uses his 'lightsaber' to destroy Fett's hard won progress with
the Hutt and his admirers. Worse, Boba is thrown into the cavernous maw
of the Sarlacc himself (to be slowly emasculated over a thousand years!
though later, unconfirmed, scuttlebutt has it that he managed to escape,
having held onto his precious manhood, remarking that the creature found
him 'difficult to digest'. I'll bet it did, a REAL man being too much
for it to handle).
And before you go, consider this one, last thing: if all this is not the
truth, then why does the man have such a cult following? It owes to a
certain admiration of his uninhibited lifestyle, his actualisation of an
innermost dream that most of us live but vicariously. I say to you: "Be
free!". Thank you.

No, I think maybe it's best that Maaxx stays as far away from people as he
possibly can.

And since as any Fett Chick knows, Bulloch is not shy about doing frontal
nude scenes, it stands to reason Fett is gay?

Phhhhbttt! In what galaxy? Palaptine is so crypto-queer that straight guys
are griping "Dude, he's the playground pervert salivating over the kid."
Besides,

Will you shut *UP* already? I am so sick and tired of frustrated gays
perverting every good sci-fi story into a mockery by claiming it has
some underlying meaning based on nothing but dubious ambiguity twisted
into fact by rampant pubescent hormones.
If you have a point to make, make it, but leave Star Wars -and for that
matter all sci-fi- out of it! If there is anything I *DO* hate about
gays it's their incessant craving for attention. Feeling gay? Then *BE*
gay, but don't rub it in my face. I'm not all over you about my
heterosexuality either, am I?

I should have. I kept waiting for it to get clever or witty or something.

lot of supposedly "real" analysis of fiction is pretty similar to it. People
see what they want to see in everything.

be serious. And even if it was...you homophobes need to RELAX. Not
every post that mentions the word "gay" is going to infect you or
something.

waiting for the cleverness and wit to show up but it doesn't. So it's
neither particularly profound as a serious work, or funny as satire. An
utter failure on all levels.

Do you even know what a homophobe is? None of the followup posts I saw
would qualify as homophobic. That's a word people throw around very
liberally, but it's rarely ever used correctly. Calling out a guy for
saying Star Wars is gay isn't homophobic -- quite the opposite, actually,
since, if anything, it's the original poster's use of the term that comes
off as homophobic. In any case, I'd say it's pretty obvious it was meant
to be funny... the problem is that it wasn't.
