I agree. I find the thought of Luke undressing his dead father a bit unsettling.
RoccondilRinon said:LOL I meant that Ken Colley, who plays Piett, plays Jesus in Life of Brian. Wasn't touching on symbolism and I don't think Star Wars is necessarily allegorical at all, however much it may have been inspired by historical events. (eg. Palpatine's rise echoes any number of historical dictators, from Caesar to Hitler, but isn't meant to represent any particular one.)
I found it mildly amusing in the ESB DVD commentary track when Lucas seems to have a Freudian slip and refers to the Imperials as "the Nazis." I forget where exactly.
He says it when Piett informs Vader that the Emperor wants to make contact with him, and when Vader says: 'Move the ship out of the asteroid field....'
Out of all the commentaries TESB has the best one. Irvin Kershner is hilarious, especially when he calls C-3P0 'that stupid robot' after he interrupts Han and Leia's kiss.
