When I mentioned that I had read "Revenge of the Sith" and said that it was filled with anti-Bush sentiment the response I got was incredulous. But check this out.
"I imagine that Revenge of the Sith is very much the film Lucas's fans want to see, but are some of them ready for an anti-Bush diatribe? Though every Star Wars film until now has existed in an insular comic-book world, a lot has happened since 1999 and 2002 in the real world and Lucas dares, for the first time, to address how the hollow political conflict in his franchise correlates with the reality outside its panels. (It would have been stupid not to strike a parallel.)"
Hey! Apparently I would have been stupid to not see the connection!
Come on, seriously, the guy is from Marin county. Of course he is going to hate Bush & Co.
Posted by jherr at May 11, 2005 09:19 AMHuh, there's lots of money in Marin County - some of it quite old. Often, but not always, old money means conservatism - as in Republicans. If you're going to throw stereotypes around, it might seem more appropriate to suggest that Lucas is an artist and all artists by their nature are against Bush. I'd strongly suggest however you not go there either ......

Posted by: jherr at May 11, 2005 11:42 AMWhile I'm sure there are a few Republicans in every democratic heavy area, (just as there are a few Dems in texas) Marin is mostly democrats - just look at their election 2004 results - Kerry got 73% of the vote
PRESIDENT and VICE PRESIDENT
JOHN F. KERRY DEM 99070 73.00%
GEORGE W. BUSH REP 34378 25.33%
MICHAEL BADNARIK LIB 620 0.46%
DAVID COBB GRN 474 0.35%
LEONARD PELTIER P&F 199 0.15%
MICHAEL A. PEROUTKA AIP 178 0.13%
