The return of Star Wars: an evil empire in Jedi clothing? | Film | The Guardian

[Mark Kohut]

Some of The plist are into SF. Does that include Star Wars? ( not much mention) 

I have basically seen them in Kael's words here, as kids movies. Shook my head at the first. Don't even remember how many I've seen except I remember that the dialogue in a late one was laughable, ridiculous. I wondered if Lucas had heard a real world conversation in the last couple decades. And shallow as any kind of allegory. (except I think the presented Otherness of the non-human creatures is....exceptional. ) 

I have rubbed up against the Campbell mythologizing believers and have tried to understand differently. Problem here for me is Lucas ain't too bright about it.  Lucas is dull .. And pompous  as he speaks about it, imho.( his wife left him  because boring, boring, I read, which is Ouch, Ouch if she is not an unreliable narrator) 

Anyway, discuss among yourselves. Show your work. 

Ciao,
