Well, I personally am a supporter of the president and I do not believe that line can be seen as a valid criticism for George Bush unless you're someone who is very stupid and/or crazy. Though you do make a good point that GL could have been coming from on of those two points of view when writing that line. But, either way, I'm not worried about it. It's a bit futile to spend any time reading politics into an obviously illogical and ridiculous movie.


You’re probably right. I just use it as a way to illustrate how far he’s strayed from what made Star Wars great. Story and dialog are secondary considerations compared to CG. I think the sad attempt at a political statement was done to pander to his little Hollywood buddies, perhaps because he believed it would better his odds at getting CG awards for ROTS. In the end even if that’s what it was it’s just the initial numbness of frostbite; a minor symptom of a much greater problem.
