However, "Star Wars" from 1977 walked home with 7 oscars. Guess which boat that movie gets to float in with? That's right, "Casablanca," "Gone With the Wind," "Lawrence of Arabia," "Titanic," a whole plethora of outstanding acadamy award winning movies.

It was new. Vietnam was over. It was a breath of fresh air.

I'm sick of hearing you spout some soundbite you heard on a documentary you just watched last week or some article you read. Fuck Vietnam. I don't want to hear any revisionist movie historian vietnam crap. Maybe it was a factor, sure, but Star Wars captured so many hearts and minds for other reasons. I'm English. I live in England. I was born in 1981. I first saw Star Wars probably in about 1985 or 6. I still love it, I love the OT. THe prequels are just not as good. Shut up about Vietnam. Shut up, Shut up, shut up, shut up, SHUT UP. The prequels didn't win shit cos they ARE shit, and you are a teenybopper neophyte who regurgitates the bullshit excuses of the Lucas and co and then flip flop to hating them and calling McCallum an asskisser depending on who you're trying to piss off/appease at the time. One minute you hate them, one minute you're backing them up and I get the distinct impression you don't even really care either way and are just saying wahtever to bait people. Maybe it makes you feel imprtant or something, and I know by posting this I am just feeding your need for attention but please, make your fucking mind up, and maybe try developing a mind of your own so you can bring something worthwhile to a discussion. If Jay wants to ban me, so be it, I'll be very sad, but I just have to say people like you are ruining Star Wars, and you personally are ruining my enjoyment of OT.com. You have nothing to say, and you say it repeatedly. I was reading Star Wars books and watching documentaries before you could fucking walk, I have already read or heard every view/opinion/lucas lie/anecdote/vietnam statement.
