Except that one results in 3000 troops dying plus countless others and the other is a make-pretend kids movie.

I've been saying for years some fans need to get a grip on reality and quotes like that one put a big giant bow on it.

JR, I hope you don't think I am putting the OOT '06 release in the same pedestal as a the War in Iraq? If you took that analogy that seriously, then I think you need to get a grip on reality. I was just saying that these are two examples of men who live by their 'vision' and feel it is the right thing they are doing, not that a bunch of poor souls on OT.com have a harder life then someone in Iraq!

As for your 'make-pretend kids movie' comment, I think this is where I laugh at these statements, and ask you if you saw the History Channel Documentary last month about the SW Saga, which was produced by Lucasfilm. The whole 2 hour special talked about the saga in terms of mythology like Joseph Campbell, Romeo & Juliet, Othello, and many more Shakespearan tieins. That was produced by GEORGE LUCAS, and it was an attempt to put the SW Saga on a pedestal as the greatest myth to hit the movies EVER, not some kiddy movie like Shrek or Monsters Inc.

As for a new analogy so you don't think we take this stuff too seriously, it would be like Steven Spielberg wearing a shirt with the cops holding guns instead of walkie talkies for the change he made in the SE of 2002. Is that better now JR?
